Hello, I installed Ubuntu Natty with DE Unity on internal memory of N900, I added the file.item in the folder Multiboot.d with the kernel in /boot, but the kernel look for the root on dev/mmcblk0p1..I tried ITEM_DEVICE = mmcblck0p2 and ITEM_DEVICE = INT_CARD} {$ p2, the kernel starts, but always look for the root mmcblck0p1,
Any ideas??
If I flash with Nokia's flasher tool it's all right! if we can solve this we have the multiboot with Maemo, here a video..
sorry for my bad English

I don't speak english so i will limit to write the terminal comand.. for original link http://www.smartphonetab.net/forum/s...tu-Natty/page8 pag.8 post 75 for the NATTY root extraction and post 119 pag 12 for the installation..
The extraction can be made for any S.O...
EXTRACTION OF NATTY ROOT: from a LINUX PC download the image and extract it, put the .img in your home so in the terminal
now we have the image to use with chroot, if you want use it with chroot read the post 77
now we install it so put the .img.ext3 in MyDocs with USB, it's so large and unplug the n900 for pc and from the pc terminal :
xxx.xxx.xx.xx is n900 I.P. for that in n900 terminal
this is the output, that in red is n900 I.P
so in the ssh terminal (from PC after ssh root@xxx.xxx.xx.x)
if don't ask for a password do:
now we must edit the partition, with GPARTED, explain it in english, for me, is more difficult that you try do it, ATTENTION a error can be dangerous..
power off the n900 and power on it with keyboard open enter in backupmenu, press button w and connect to pc, so you must work with GPARTED
I reduced my FAT partition and expanded the my EXT3, if you make a new partition cange mmcblk0p2 with mmcblkop4, I worked only with mmcblkop2
I do it from pc terminal connect by ssh to n900 but you can do from the n900 terminal:
reconnect from pc terminal by ssh to n900 (ssh root@xxx.xx.x.x. in pc terminal)and:
wait, you can go to drink a beer, or two
now we have installed Natty on n900 but it can't start, we must study a integration with multiboot, now it don't work so we must flash the n900 by pc every time, and it no good.. in the original post we are study a solution, for now power off the n900 and connect it to usb of pc pressing U button and from pc terminal go in the folder where you download the kernel http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U0CWT2O1, rename the file cancel .zip, don't extract
I have extract all that package https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-n900/2.6.35-1.3.1/+build/2269559 and put the three folder on / of Natty partition
if the boot fail try again, after many time it start and it start everytime..login with user and password choice with chroot in principle
if something go wrong flash only the kernlel, so you don't lose any thinks :
sudo flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only kernel -f -R

THE ENGLISH IS VERY VERY VERY BAD SO READ THE ORIGINAL LINK

I I will write the guide when i solve this problem

Ok, I think you know the additional c in mmcblck0p2

If you understand German, here is a howto for nitdroid

thanks but don't work!

but in that post there isn't any additional c...

please let me know how this goes, this is something i want, not lame android.

I found the problem .. to soo
stay tuned .. ;-D

I'd advise you try using the MeeGo 2.6.37 kernel. Remove the uBoot header first though.
2.6.28 is a bit too old for my liking. Should work though, as IIRC the latest glibc depends on at least 2.6.26.

i haven't problem of kernel but in multiboot, I have Natty on mmcblk0p2 and if i flash with linux pc it's all right, but when multiboot flash, the kernel is looking for root on mmcblkop1, the my .item is right..
ITEM_NAME="02-Natty"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.35-1
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro
