Its been 5 days since the official release of Diablo. The Diablo thread has generated 442 posts so far. Looking at the early postings, looks like quite some early adapters encountered problems and by now it should consider all dusts settled. So I would like to know what/how/why you configured your system the way it is. In particular, how do you do it.

I will start first.

My system: N800/4G/8G
Internal Flash boot: Diablo
Internal SD boot: Diablo
External Sd boot: Chinook with KDE358

Here is my cat /proc/partitions log:

My N800 was running Chinook both internal flash and external boot with KDE358 on externalSD. When Diablo came, I just flashed to Diablo. So, I had Diablo on internal flash and Chinook on externalSD. I then used Penguinbait's install.tool, thanks PB, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=19639 , and cloned the Diablo onto the internalSD.
1) go penguinbait.com, right click on install tools, dl to my Document folder, not dl onto any SD cards.
2) I left my 4G SD internal card (open battery cover) and removed the 8G SD external card (behind kick stand)
3) Control panel>Memory>Virtual>Uncheck Extend Virtual memory.
4) Turn off all other running programs, and click the install.tool. It then installed thru app manager.
For about 1.5 minute, it kicked me out "installation install.tool unsuccessful..."
I clicked the install.tool again, it then re-started the installation. And this time it ran for 6.5 min, "Installation install.tool successful."
I then reboot. My own bootmenu has now been replaced by PB's bootmenu (Yes, the install tool will clone OS and insert a bootmenu)
which allows to boot from 1) internal flash (Diablo) 2) internalSD (Diablo) and 3) externalSD (Chinook w KDE358)

All 3 boots are well behave so far. Have not encountered any problems regarding apps. KDE358 which resides on externalSD boot runs slower on N800/Diablo when comparing to N800/Chinook, not unbearingly slower, but noticebly. And PB's receipe made the 4G partition into 3.4G for the KDE, might as well use a 2G card instead.

I wonder whether KDE made under Diablo run under N800/Diablo will run faster then KDE made under Chinook run under N800/Chinook?

For the N810, you have a nonremovable internal card and that makes config less flexible.

Now it is your turn to tell us about your config, the OS/boot system.

TIA,

It works, surprisingly. And web browsing is certainly faster/more stable under Diablo then Chinook. This gives the best situations for those sitting on the fence: would like to try out Diablo but is not ready to flash the tablet.

Guess what bun is going to do now with his N810?

And as usual, the tablet is confused about mmc1 as internal and mmc0 as external.

Basically, what I did is have a miniSD card on an adapter and have it cloned by N800 and then moved the miniSD card into the externalSD of N810.
And of course, it works. So I am trying out the AGPS, web browser of Diablo as mmc boot and keeping all my Chinook goodies on the N810. All apps work.

Running Diablo on external card (ext3), internal card is fat32, where I keep all important files.

I'm booting to fvwm instead of matchbox. I use 6 virtual screens to quickly move throughout full screen applications. With Diablo this is finally possible. The only hitch is there is no menu in microb. However it really isn't that significant.
