Hello There.
First of all - i am not really a Noob concering Computers, I used Win for about a decade, Ubuntu about 1,5 Year and now OSX since of the beginning of the current Year.
But, i am not really able to get Android running on my Nokia N900.
I formattet my 4GB Micro SD as Follows:
1. Partition - Primary - Fat32 - 1781 MB
2. Partition - Primary - EXT3 - 2048 MB
I Unzipped the RootFS Image onto the EXT3 Partition.
I successfully flashed the Provided Kernel by djsteve, and also Installed the Bootmenu, including Leafpad.
So far so good - i think at least.
After booting up the Device, it flashes and shows all the Codes - booting Maemo works fine - as usual - but now here comes the Part i am conerned about:
In the Manual, we have to create a File in etc/bootmenu.d called anroid.etc.item, correct?
It is a simple text file, so that the Bootloader gets an Entry, correct?
So I simply copied the following Entry out of the Manual:
ITEM_NAME="Android (external SD, partition 2)"
ITEM_ID="android"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p2"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3 fat vfat"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime"
Thing is, i called the FAT Partiton "Win", and the EXT "android" (without the qoutes and exactly same spelling)
So, after booting up, the bootloader is able to choose the Android entry, but it doesnīt load the OS.
If i read correctly, then there seems to be a Problem with the directory i gave.
"getbootstate: Mounting p2
mount: mounting /dev/p2/ on mnt/new_root failed : No such file or directory"
Thatīs essentially what it says... so what did i do wrong?
My guess is, that i do have to replace the "ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p2" , am i right?
I am really thankfull for any Help ^ ^

@ Banschee
comes after
"Getbootstate: Mounting p2
mount: Mounting / dev/p2 / mnt on / new_root failed: No such file or directory "
also
getbootstate: invalid selection
choose bootup option:
2), MMC
9) start a shell
comes after

Replacing
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p2"
with
ITEM_DEVICE="mmcblk0p2"
solved the problem

Sure - But i already repartitionated the Card like this:
4 GB SDHC
100MB FAT32 - Primary
2000MB EXT3 - Primary
Empty - for now
Configuration in android.etc.item
ITEM_NAME="Android (external SD, partition 2)"
ITEM_ID="android2"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p2"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3 fat vfat"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,rw"
I think my Mistake lies somewhere in this Configuration.
