Please insert the card to be used in the N900, reboot, check if the card is available to write the file setup.txt and then use these commands to retrieve the information needed
Please attach setup.txt to your next post.
Code:
df -h > /media/mmc1/setup.txt mount >> /media/mmc1/setup.txt free >> /media/mmc1/setup.txt sudo gainroot >> /media/mmc1/setup.txt sfdisk -l >> /media/mmc1/setup.txt

This is really a hard nut to crack...
Please try
This might take some time.
Last edited by michaaa62; 2012-08-31 at 07:23. Reason: Edited later: The command's options were wrong!
Please try
Code:
sudo gainroot mkfs.ext3 -L optfs -c -c /dev/mmcblk0p2

There are couple of threads, where people lost their emmc through hardware fault:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ghlight=broken
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ghlight=broken
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ghlight=broken
Even more worrisome, there are three more very recent threads with possible hardware failure.
You could try to get something from Nokia, be it a repair, another phone or money, if they are willing to
You could try to buy a N900 at ebay or other sellers.
You could have an external microSD card to have the three partitions for Maemo like inthis threads solution http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ghlight=broken .You need as large a card as you might have or get to have the space to install applications and have data on it.
The solution begins with this post to gather data from the card in use http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=944585&postcount=8 and may require some further adaptations.
You might try to get the data from the device via USB to a PC if this is still working
