in my application manager there is an actualization: "Enhanced boot loader for Maemo - Maemo ULTimate BOOTloader" .....

in the description says: "This package installs an enhanced bootmenu, needed for booting from a MMC card. This is required e.g. for booting other operating systems, like Meego or Android. This bootloader has many advanced features, including automatic kernel flashing using flash tools, kexec support, power configuration, etc. This software wa written by Jay Cartman"

and the version is: 0.2.10-1 .... i have installed the version 0.2.5 with maemo and nitdroid.

maybe this new version works too boot meego, android, and maemo ...i really don't know but check it out!

link to the package: http://maemo.org/packages/view/multiboot/

@Jaguilar

Are you only using the flasher to flash the kernel?

I believe Multiboot has the capability to flash whatever kernels you specify. Unfortunately, I don't know how.

To boot in MeeGo I used Multiboot, but making some customizations (in fact only a symbolic link to the Maemo kernel libraries).

Correct. But the kernel you flash MUST recognize Multiboot, and show its menu. It occurs with Maemo and NITDroid kernels, but not with MeeGo kernel. So you can't back from MeeGo without Flasher.

@kishan
I really didn't test with lastest version of Multiboot because I installed it yesterday (and erased MeeGo partition). I will make some tests, but I don't think that will work...

Only changes seem to be minor ones to get it to devel.

I think you need to re-extract the NITdroid rootfs and that should make it work. It's a known issue that sometimes you have to re-extract. Don't know why it doesn't do it right the first time?

Hope you get the Meego running from sdcard and please do share how to if you get it going
Hrmmm....
Yesterday i installed 0.0.5 version, than updated on 0.0.6 and it's workin' now....so problem with nitdroid is solved..

Now, waiting for NitDroid developers, when they make a manual how to install NitDroid 0.0.7 without autoinsteller, till then i'm installing debian on partition as system

There will no longer be a manual how to, if you want to do it manual you will need to get in IRC and ask for help. To many people messing up with manual install to make it worth having a how to.

If first, i have it, but it works hard because it's a new process in maemo, not new started from partition.

If second, i'll check it too.

Thx!

P.S.

I have no stuff on SD card, because i bought that just for systems.
It's a separate OS.

it seems that installer extracts patches as well and overwrites files on the android partition. So, if you want to do it manually, you will have to extract them by hand. I could be wrong, I am not very strong in shell scripting.

hey
i also don't want to try automatic installing
so i used manual one
you just need to download packages and then install all of them
i tried it and it works without problems
it's very simple

Will NITdroid ever have phone functionality?
I understood that it's difficult because phone stack is closed source and done in such a way - hardwarewice - that there's no existing solution for it.

Just asking cos it seems like we're having a dead OS on our hands allready
