lol, it is the life-time i have with a normal use in KDE (a lot of music and a lot of browsing via bluetooth!), but in Diablo I have like 5 or 6 hours (probably it's an impression, but with kde I had to recharge at every night, with diablo I recharge every 2\2,5 days!!!=)

I have this running very good in chroot but when I try to boot I get the white screen that says it is booting from the correct partition but then it just hangs. I haven't installed xorg yet and I wasn't able to successfully apply the bootmenu.conf patch (maybe I already did it in the Mer days).....any tips? I did apply Fanoush modules though. Do I need to have x first or should it dump me to a console?

it'll be a regular linux boot, first console, then eventually Xorg will switch to graphics.

EDIT: This may be a stupid question but do I need a boot partition on the SD card? I'm having a hard time locating dated info on the advanced bootmenu........where does it look for the kernel at?
EDIT: Got it working by applying the patch to /etc/bootmenu.conf. Had to patch it on laptop using patch -p1 *.patch then copy to n800....

Time flies and current Gentoo userspace is no longer compatible with ancient diablo kernel. So, I'm in the process of switching to modern kernel. If anyone has time/knowledge to play with, I would be very happy to accept some help (especially with N810 hw since I don't have one). You should also understand that this is by no means Gentoo-specific and would help running any modern Linux distro on N8x0.
