It's funny how things work.
I switched the battery for the original one, the one I discarded because it had some problem in the internal logic (sometimes it lasted for a day, sometimes for half an our).
Everything was exactly as you detailed, so the problem had to be with my Mugen's battery.
Then, I switched batteries again and now, the one from Mugen's behaves exactly as you described. The problem is gone.
I don't know what it was (you saw the video) but the good thing is now I know how to revert it if it happens again: I just have to reboot with the original battery.
Thanks.

You need to delete partition 2, 3, 4 and then create p2 ext3 and p3 swap. Right?
Also you need to mkfs.ext3 on the new ext3 partition before restoring the backup.
1 more thing, I would reboot after using fdisk before doing anything else.

Hi PB and everyone!
Yesterday while running from my usual cloned partition on my external 8 GB SD card, I had a strange problem - could not run Terminal. It would launch and then close. I decided to reboot (tablet had been on for weeks), but when it shut down I saw a brief message that said something like "Memory corruption external SD" - it went by too fast to read.
When I power on, I get the boot menu (had used pbeasy last year), but if I select external it reports:
"Booting from mmc12 mmcblock0p2 ext3 "
but then I get jailbars and it reboots again to the menu. I can boot to internal flash (mtdblock4 jffs2 )
When I try to clone via pbeasy, it seems to only see a 2GB disk - I think it is the internal 2GB disk. I exited in in trembling fear.
I am able to connect via USB and see the 500 MB "fat" partition on the external card and copy the files.
Was wondering if I need to reformat the entire 8 GB external card. but I don't know how! <sob> Can't figure out how to run fsck - when I try fsck --help it just returns a version number. Sorry to be so helpless - I've been spending a lot of time with Windoze 7 lately and I think it hurt my brain.
Here's some info on the disk(s)
Rarrgh:~# df

It almost sounds like the card actually died, although it shows up in your partitions list, so it must be functioning somewhat.

I have installed this successfully, my n810 can boot from internal flash or external MMC card. But, I don't know how to set the external MMC as the default boot device. I tried pb->bootmenu->Boot, but, the external MMC is not listed there. only 1 option:
/dev/mtdblock4 Size:256MB
What's the problem.
Thanks.

chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool –set-root-device ask:mmc12
Reference:
mmc2 is partition 2 on internal
mmc3 is partition 3 on internal
mmc12 is partition 2 on external
mmc13 is partition 3 on external
This sets the default, not sure why its not in the list?

Well, this is embarrassing.
The problem was my old, squinty eyes. I finally put on my reading glasses, fired up pbeasy, and lo and behold, there was a little, tiny, hard-to-see "+" symbol under the list of disks. Pressed it, and there was my external card. Partitioned and then Cloned without a hitch. Been running for a few days no problems. Probably had a flipped bit in some critical location. Well, after all, this is why I run from external SD in the first place!
<sigh>
People, I'm really sorry about this.
I'm braced for derision - please be merciful.
