What's more there are only partitions mmcblk0p{1,2,3} visible. The "new" partitions aren't visible.
Any ideas what's going on?
Step to install Nemo mobile on EMMC:
1. Download Nemo mobile image
2. Extract and mount it (mount -o loop), let say to /tmp/nemo1
3. Create 3 partition as I mention above. You should be able to use your Maemo's swap partition. So you'll likely only need 2 partition.
Let say your swap is /dev/mmcblk0p5, Nemo's /boot partition is /dev/mmcblk0p6 and root partition is /dev/mmcblk0p7. Format the partition.
4. Mount the partition, let say /dev/mmcblk0p7 to /tmp/nemo2, /dev/mmcblk0p6 to /tmp/nemo2/boot.
5. cp -rv /tmp/nemo1/* /tmp/nemo2/
6. Edit /tmp/nemo2/usr/lib/oneshot.d/10-n900-swap according to your swap partition
7. Edit /tmp/nemo2/etc/fstab according to your Nemo's root partition and boot partition
8. Edit your u-boot's Nemo.item file. ITEM_DEVICE must be pointed to your Nemo's boot partition ( /dev/mmcblk0p6 ) and ITEM_CMDLINE="root=xxx" pointed to Nemo's root partition ( /dev/mmcblk0p7 )

The de-installer script wipes off Maemo installation. The Nemo raw image contains three partitions. What about installing it side by side?
My idea is: shrink the MyDocs partition and copy the partitions to the emmc. Create uboot entries and run.
Can this be done with Nemo?
I have done it many months ago (over one year ago) with meego before and nemo after, with no problems.
Please read this guide (after translating it with google) that I have written two years ago: http://www.smartphonetab.net/forum/s...-MeeGo-su-eMMC
u-boot part is to be completly revised but I suppose that the rest is still usable.

I think by default, u-boot only provide 3 .item file: Maemo default kernel, Maemo power kernel and Backupmenu item file.
So you'll need to create a new item file for Nemo. This is my Nemo.item file:
Code:
ITEM_NAME="Nemo Mobile"
ITEM_KERNEL="nemo-n900-uImage"
ITEM_DEVICE="${INT_CARD}p5"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext2"
ITEM_CMDLINE="root=/dev/mmcblk1p7 rootwait rw console=tty02,115200n8 console=tty0 omapfb.vram=0:2M,1:2M,2:2M mtdoops.mtddev=2"
ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"
Nemo will detect /dev/mmcblk0 as /dev/mmcblk1 and /dev/mmcblk1 as /dev/mmcblk0.
Hope this help.

Hope this help.
In case someone needs it: if you don't have the SD card (there's no /dev/mmcblk1), /dev/mmcblk0 is still /dev/mmcblk0

Once the partition is there, you can mount it in Maemo *manually* from Xterm to see if it is ok.
