Hi Guys,

I ordered from Ebay a 2nd hand N900 because I wanted to dual boot it with Ubuntu 12.04 on SDCard.

These are the steps that I did to try to do this sorcery.

1.) Partition my SDCard (32 Gig) Class 4 (P1 = FAT32, P2 = Swap, P3 = EXT3)


2.) Run the below command:

sudo apt-get install bzr
bzr branch lp:ubuntu-n900
cd ubuntu-n900

3.) Downloaded and extracted Custom Firmware from http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=253

4.) Mounted my SDCard P3 (EXT3) on my Computer: (/dev/sdb3)

5.) Run sudo bash install.sh

6.) Only modified the defaults by selecting (LXDE and XORG)

7.) Waited for more than an hour for the Script to finish.

8.) Installed Pali's UBOOT on my N900 while waiting for Step 7

9.) After the script finished on 7, asked for username and password: I put my name : s3an and password: abcde

10.) Unmount my SDCard from Computer

11.) Inserted on my N900

12.) Reboot and the Uboot Menu appeared, selected External SD Card and Hit Enter

13.) And Ubuntu didnt Boot. I got the last log below :



I really wanted this to happen, hope someone can provide me working steps or could give me hint to solve the issue that i encountered. Thanks
