I can't make it to boot.
Probably because I'm on a N810 and trying to install on the miniSD ?
My device is /dev/mmcblk1 (p2 for root)
It starts, but fails saying the bootmenu is not compatible (as the screenshot in the first post).
I've read the whole thread but couldn't really find the solution.
Do I have to install bootmenu from deblet to make it work ?
If so, how ?
Also, the first post has a note regarding an updated bootmenu, right before starting with the actual instructions.
That's a bit confusing, as it seems you have to do it on your Maemo distribution rather than in the Ubuntu chrooted partition.
Also, I believe those steps are implicit into the instructions, aren't they ?
Anyway, my problem's still there.. it won't boot

Also, nit-bootmenu-compat is a package designed to allow Ubuntu (or Mer) to boot properly on the device and it uses some of it's resources from the deblet bootmenu - (nit-bootmenu-compat is mostly a compatibility package for ubuntu to run on the tablets, it doesn't acctually contain the bootmenu
)

Hello b-man,
if I use your code for the ubuntu.item I just saw:
"Starting linuxrc from Ubuntu on mmcblk1p2 (mmcblk1p2 ext3)"
Using Code:
ITEM_NAME="Ubuntu on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_ID="Ubuntu on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_DEVICE="mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro"
ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"
I saw the information coming from the linuxrc.

Anyway mine gets to the very same point and then it resets.
Anyone knows what we're doing wrong?

Yes and it is precisely because of bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2747 Feel free to vote for it to have it fixed in Diablo. Also if you provide kernels for your project (Mer?,Ubuntu?) consider applying this patch to keep mmcblk device names consistent. It causes all sorts of confusion and unexpected side effects and may also cause reboot when removing card from device (at least Diablo works like this).
It recognizes the EXT_CARD as "mmblk0" on my N810.
From the internal flash boot (and from my internal 2Gb Diablo boot) it is seen as mmcblk1.

@ernia: could you show me your bootmenu item setup?

ITEM_DEVICE="${INT_CARD}p3"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"

ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"
i´m trying to boot from partition 3 of my internal card. the linuxrc script get executed, the partition is correctly identified (i´ve modified linuxrc to print a ls | grep of a file i did put in the ubuntu filesystem), i would think that the init script doesn´t like n810.
i did not have problem with mer, but the lack of audio makes me try jaunty until mer supports audio.
in the mer-jaunty change i´ve changet bootmenu too, installing the deblet one. thanks for your answer

And do you guys also know the correct .item to boot Diablo from the internal 2Gb partition on my N810 ? (/dev/mmcblk0p2)
It's for sure the same issue, but also I do not know if the "linuxrc" file is the correct one.
Thanks!

i think that for initfs the correct internal device is mmcblk1 and the external one is mmcblk0. i know that in a n810 you see things swapped while you are in maemo, but seems to be a bug.
you can read this thread about it: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ht=mmc+swapped
in the end of the thread you can find this link http://bsd.tspre.org/~stskeeps/guess_intext. it should be the script used in the boot process of mer .

Actually I tried both. And neither one worked. :/
