If you already have it cloned to your SD.. just reflash to Diablo, then uninstall Penguinbait's Install tools.. and Install Penguinbaits Bootmenu deb (which auto-detects partitions and writes a boot menu)..

That should give you diablo on Flash, and your current chinook on the SD card..

I think

IcyAirs - that actually looks similar to the problem quicksilver524 was having (amongs other things) once he got it to load to his SD card... he had something like 800mb / drive...

You say "device memory" is all you have... use df -h in the terminal.. that will tell you total size and used space of your / partitions.

the total size should show 1.6gb or so I believe. If it shows 1.6gb and 700-800mb used space with 800mb left over then something is getting stored on your device that we need to find and delete... if it shows total size as 800 something mb like what quicksilver was doing then something is going wrong with the installers partitioning scheme...

I found it easier to shrink the Text Size in the default terminal .. makes df -h and other commands look much nicer.. but that depends on your eye sight and how small of text you can read.

sorry its raken so long to reply, sleeping and working really cuts into life
so i will try this all again starting with telling you what goes on in application manager/tools/log right? currently it only says hildon in it and does not clear so i assume thats not what were looking for. so i will attempt to redownload and install this and tell you what it says there. thanks.

Also another option for you guys is to try the advanced edition:

It's a little more head-way work... but considering quicksilver has reflashed a dozen times and reloaded as many... it can't be that much more work . This way you can manually define your partition sizes to being 1.6GB or whatever and see if it returns any errors during this process.

holy cow it shot off about 42189 in letters and this box holds only 10000 at the end it says sd card in use and not valid install is there another way to show you this info?

Looking at the problems above, I would suggest a low level format of the sd card that you will be installing on after reflashing.

Reflash the N8x0
Insert the SD card.
Connect the Nokia to your desktop using the usb cable, make sure that the sd card is not mounted on the Nokia or unmount it using
umount /media/mmcxxxxxx
and then on your desktop

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/"whatever your sd card is" (see dmesg output)

Then you can use fdisk to create partitions ,
then make filesystems using
mkfs.vfat /dev/"your sd card partition 1"
mkfs.ext2 /dev/"your sd card partition 2"

unmount from desktop, remove usb cable
and try to do the boot from sd steps again.

i'm afraid i'm a little confused now, when you say mounted what does that mean? and when you say on my desktop i assume type that in? where?

i guess its the terms your using like mount and unmount and where to type this info at and on

The above instructions are assuming you have a linux desktop to connect to. All the above commands are executed in the terminal as root.

Thanks. I have chinook cloned to the built-in internal 2gig SD card. Since I *really* don't want to damage or risk damaging my chinook 2gig install, can someone else confirm that flashing to diablo and then installing http://penguinbait.com/bootmenu-installer.deb will reach my goal?
