Can you please make patches against the unstable branch? Currently I'm adding parts of your patch so wait until revision 128. Also, I'm going to change the URL for unstable branch right now, will update this post and the first one in the thread with it.
And the last one: AFAICS the dynamic root partition number doesn't work yet because of unchanged install-chroot-part.sh
Update:
Unstable branch:
Code:
bzr branch lp:~xintx-ua/ubuntu-n900/unstable

Sure. I will wait for 128 and take a look.
Yesterday I ran the installation to the end using only 2 partitions (vfat and ext4 root), and I booted the system fine last night with root at p2. I will double-check this point.
I've updated it, check the post for address
So you are using custom bootmenu item with new U-Boot and edited it to contain proper partition number, right?
