N9 Ubiboot plus and l2fix kernel:

@garp
I have also no idea what could be wrong. And cannot imagine ubiboot to be the cause for MfE problems (but hey nobody believed me with SIP

). Unfortunately you will be on your own to find out as nobody else experiences this.
Are you sure you boot L2fix and not stock kernel?

Self-made problem?
Original partition layout:
p1 vfat MyDocs (lots of GB)
p2 ext4 rootfs (4 GB)
p3 ext4 home (2 GB)
p4 empty not-in-use (0 GB)

Original partition layout:
p1 vfat MyDocs (lots of GB)
p2 ext4 rootfs (4 GB)
p3 ext4 home (2 GB)
p4 empty not-in-use (0 GB)

Current partition layout:
p1 vfat MyDocs (29 GB)
p2 ext4 Alt_OS (4 GB)
p3 ext4 rootfs (4 GB)
p4 extended
p5 ext4 unnamed (2 GB)

This is the same partition layout as I had after installing nemo, except that I originally just had four partitions instead of one of them being an extended partition.

@garp
afaik there is (should be) no problem having two/few devices configured.
Were both devoces online? If so put one into offline mode and try again...

@taixzo
read a few posts back (last page(s)).
Your partition layout differs from stock one. And that would mean you have edited fstab and init files? To match that?
Possibly you were confused by numbering and physical presence (number) on disk? Idk how gparted shows...

You seem to be missing /home partition, or is that p5 in your layout?
Just as @peterleinchen said, check your /etc/fstab

So you have 2 N9 devices, one with ubiboot and another without?
That's always good when doing development work

So it looks like you've got different preinits on the devices, as the one without ubiboot is 16210 bytes and the other is 10661 bytes.
Actually the Nokia-original /sbin/preinit is 10661 bytes, so I am not sure what is the preinit in the other N9, Nitdroid sillyboot, maybe?

Oops, good catch. Did not see the 'other' device config at all.

So yes juiceme saw it and you should check/answer and maybe post that other preinit for comparison.

Yes really big developer here!!

The preinit on N9 16GB could well be from the install of Nitdroid and sillyboot 2012 for a period (removed now), see attached?

Yep, trapped by some android relict (like me):

Code:

 
~ diff /home/user/preinit.txt  /home/user/preinit_ubiboot.txt
--- /home/user/preinit.txt
+++ /home/user/preinit_ubiboot.txt

-modprobe g_ether
-sleep 1
-/sbin/ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.15 up
-

Just comment these 3 lines and it will be fine (I guess).
