Trying to follow your post but got stuck extracting the base system, ran out of space, i think the problem was;

Code:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/jaunty -o noatime
Does this not point to the swap partition? I guess it should be partition 3, the ext3 part, which gets mounted here?

Seems to be going well now, extraction success! I'd had problems with the insmod commands, so the mount didn't give any error mounting the swap partition, so i was actually extracting in the built-in memory space rather than the memory card.

Hi everybody,

I tried the above and installed to my external mmc. This did not work completely, the boot process stops when the bar on the bottom of the Ubuntu boot screen is almost full (say 98%). Perhaps there is a simple solution to this? I suppose some paths are not correctly set for an installation to exernal mmc...

PS: I had a couple of 404 on the files sys-env-x pulled in, so I did a
Code:
apt-get update
and tried again. This time all files were found. Could some updated package stall the boot process?

Installing sys-env-x just now and seeing quite a few 404's but apt-get update has fixed the problem - thanks n810_itt, i didn't think to update assuming all was up to date, I should have tried the obvious

Ok !

Looks great !

What about the sound ? where do you think the problem comes from ?
Still from binaries driver ? because i'm very interessed in this, using hydrogen for exemple... and a basic Lamp server...

Thanks for your feedbacks...

As I'm new to n810 and alternative installs, can anyone help with the booting?

I've installed the boot menu as per the instructions.

As I used the partitions shown in the post, I've customized menu options on bootmenu.conf to;

Code:
#no need to redefine
#MENU_1_NAME="Internal flash"
#MENU_1_ID="flash"

MENU_2_NAME="Jaunty Internal MMC, partition 3, ext3"
MENU_2_ID="mmc2"
MENU_2_DEVICE="${INT_CARD}p3"
MENU_2_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
MENU_2_FSTYPE="ext3"
MENU_2_FSOPTIONS="noatime" #",data=writeback"
[ -d "/sys/block/${INT_CARD}/${MENU_2_DEVICE}" ] || MENU_2_NAME="(${MENU_2_NAME}) N/A"

MENU_3_NAME="Power off (when not on charger)"
MENU_3_ID="off"
Booting menu2 (Jaunty), the Ubuntu logo shows up followed by a message 'Incompatible Boot Loader'.

What have i done wrong?

You must use bootmenu that comes with Merinstaller. Install Mer installer and then make a bootmenu .item for ubuntu /etc/bootmenu.d/ubuntu.item for example

Thanks Meizirkki. I have flashed the Mer boot loader but still getting the same 'Incompatible Boot Loader ...' screen. I have used the following .item file;

Code:
ITEM_NAME="Jaunty on internal card, p3"
ITEM_ID="Jaunty on internal, p3"
ITEM_DEVICE="mmcblk0p3"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro"
ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"

Ok, I reinstalled on my internal mmc, but the problem with the halted boot process stays the same. Is there any way to disable the bootsplash so I can see the bootlog?

fifth, don't forget to reinstall the initfs (flash with the program entry in utilities under maemo) after you modified the item file; for me, this wasn't picked up automatically!
