After installing 0.9, I rebooted my device, and seleted Mer at the bootmenu. After displaying "starting linuxrc from Mer on external...", I get the Nokia splash screen and then the tablet reboots itself from flash back into Maemo. I've been using Mer since 0.7, and I did not have this problem when upgrading to 0.8. Any pointers? Thanks!

I guess the powerlaunch button alone is worth it in my N810, will load it and comment soon

Woops, sorry 
merinstaller 2.0.0-mer6 now in repository, it fixes the URL
Temporary fix: when it asks for URL, write URL=http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-n8x0-image-v0.9.tar.gz

I tried with 0.8 and again with 0.9 downloading the tar.gz image and un-tar ing into a clean partition on my sd card of choice (partitions previously setup by mer installer).
It boots fine, loads mer asks for my name, user name, password x2, and tablet name. Loads mer but I don't have any options for wireless. With 0.8 re-installed using mer installer, wireless was fine.
I untar'd using root in ubuntu, is that part of the problem?
If there isn't an easy way to do it, I'll stumble through manual in the installer.

Information about Mer can be found at http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer and release information and released files on http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Releases/0.9. It also has a list of known issues so please read them through first before installing.
If you own a N8x0(W), use the installer mentioned here. 770 instructions here. If you have VirtualBox, VMware, QEMU or Parallels, try out our VMDK or RAW images. Beagleboard and Pocket Loox 700-series instructions are available.
Next release is 16 March 2009 (0.10).
Highlights of this release:
* 770 WiFi works out of the box (thanks to nikolajhendel for the 770 donation)
* Powerlaunch - power button menu and lock screen/reboot/shutdown/offline mode now works
* Autodetection of having Nokia keyboards
* You can now flash Mer to the internal flash on N8x0 (experimental, and swap recommended, we provide JFFS2+kernel image)
Mer is still a work in progress and as such you should not expect too much of it. We are in dire need of hands, both coders and architects/designers, so if you think you can contribute, you're more than welcome to join us.
If you would like to participate, read through http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/People and http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Sprints and see if there's anything you can help out with. We're on #maemo (or #mer) on FreeNode, IRC, if you'd like to hang out and discuss.
