can i do step one from n900? like through mass storage? but when i conenct it, it shows memory card needs to be formatted. i cant access on maemo as well. it says file format not supported after i put in meego on memory card. so ius there anyway to do it through mass storage

copy/paste what you're doing and the results.

Reading the Wiki, I see this:
To access realtime and safely the data stored on the eMMC live and direct.
  • To allow sharing the data from Maemo side.
    • Photographs and videos taken with the device camera
    • Music and example files.
  • Mountpoint now accessible within N900-CE builds
    • /media/maemoMyDocs
Have you looked in that directory?

MeeGo CE looks for emmc partition 3 for it's swap, unfortunately in this instance it's the /boot partition. When it doesn't find it you're just left with no swap.


Code:
/dev/mmcblk0p1  /         ext4   defaults,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p3  /boot         vfat   defaults,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk1p3  swap         swap   defaults,noatime 0 0
devpts     /dev/pts  devpts  gid=5,mode=620   0 0
tmpfs      /dev/shm  tmpfs   defaults         0 0
proc       /proc     proc    defaults         0 0
sysfs      /sys      sysfs   defaults         0 0
I aded 1 Gb swap partition in meego (microSD class 10). i will check perfomance soon.

Code:
/dev/mmcblk0p4          116481      147732     1000064   82  Linux swap / Solaris
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           224        216          8          0          3         62
-/+ buffers/cache:        150         74
Swap:          976          8        968

ps. same sh1t; also i did package upgrade and now half of my apps seems broken -(

yes, if you want to play with partitions in command line. Meego partition should be ext4, and power-kernel should support it. You can try to manually mount the Meego partition as root in maemo, and I believe there are tools for partition manipulation for maemo (you will have to look for that yourself).
If you just want to copy the files, as jedi said the maemo partition can be accessed in Meego pretty easily.

Where does it fail? did you manage to mount the maemo mydocs?
If you copy files as root, you might need to chown them for the normal user after that.

I found out about the swap on bkl?0p2. Edited the fstab in meego and run swapon command. It didn't change anything as I could see.
