N800 wuth OS2008.

uname -r returns 2.6.21-omap1 which seems right to me but I still got unable to locate mbcache.ko and carried on which trashed my partition because it was writing to itself. Ah well, I got it to work fine and thanks again for the brilliant script

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I've been at this for the last 4 hours (it's 6.45 am now and I need to get ready for work).

Thus far, I have learned that before starting on step 7 of post #1 of this thread, one should partition the card first.

sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc2
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0 -uM
1,14000,0C
,,,
reboot

sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc2
mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0p1
reboot

sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc2
mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
reboot

sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc2
cd bin
./nupgrade.sh 0
yes
./nupgrade.sh 1
yes
./nupgrade.sh 2
yes
./nupgrade.sh 3
yes
./nupgrade.sh 4
yes
reboot

After all this, it's still not booting from the MMC.

Did I go wrong with a step somewhere?

I'm probably wrong (my knowledge of Linux is average) but -uM isn't needed.

Also the 1st partition that is created is VFAT which has the code of "6", not "0C".
For the second partition, try the line:
14001,,

(Starts from 1 cylinder after the VFAT partition, fills rest of space & I think sfdisk assumes ext2fs is nothing is entered after the second comma)

dan, it looks like you managed to get it working. Could you share with us the exact steps, or did you, like me, end up applying so many fixes along the way that you lost track of the steps as well?

I was able to do it with my 8GB cards. Only thing I noticed is that I would do:


sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc2
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0 -uM
0,14000,0C <<<<<
14000,, <<<<<<
,,
reboot

sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc2
mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0p1
reboot

sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc2
mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
reboot

Try the sfdisk lines first and if they don't work for you, I'll write up exactly what I did (won't be as greatly written as Milhouses' guide though).

got the SDHC fixed, and it's now a FAT16. What's an optimal file system to use? FAT16? FAT32? FAT (LBA?)

This card is used for virtual memory, MP3s, pictures, and movies

The os on partition loads in about 15-17 seconds and the normal flash
loads in about 32-34 seconds.

I also got USB HOST running from normal flash. So now I have USB hub
with 4 sdhc cards. Strange thing is that it activates bluetooth?

Well again many thanks for your help, patience and support.

Are you running OS2007 or 2008? N800 or N810?

I think I found part of the problem.

After partitioning, i rebooted, then

sudo gainroot
sfdisk -ls

and got the following results:

/home/user # sfdisk -ls
/dev/mmcblk0: 15694336

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 490448 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1 32 448031 448000 14336000 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 0+ 31 32- 1023+ 83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p3 448032 490447 42416 1357312 83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
total: 15694336 blocks

For some strange reason, the 1GB I allocated for the Linux partition for the bootspace ended up being mmcblk0p3 instead of mmcblk0p2 as I thought.

How do I designate p03 to be the default bootspace?
