Spot the differences:
Code:
omapfb.vram=0:3M,1:3M,2:3M
Already stated multiple times, in instructions and otherwise, mmc devices get swapped in Maemo. So, mmcblk0 is emmc in Maemo only, otherwise it means sd-card and is what you want in your config.

With the above fixed, it should work

THANKS, Skry, for all the help.....

I see that I missed the " at the end of the 'EXT_CARD' line at 'p2'....

As for the second error regarding 'omapfb.vram', that was a typing error here on the forum post, not in Arch.item.....

Now, after doing 'u-boot-update-bootmenu', I get the following:

Code:

line 3: EXT_CARD: not found

-------------------UPDATE 2----------

I looked at other example and saw that I had () instead of brackets {} around EXT_CARD.

Also, re-read your post and changed mmcblk1p2 to mmcblk0p2 and

and ran u-boot-update-boot menu again...Now, I still get:

Error: Invalid file - missing kernel or script file

-------------------UPDATE 3----------

Rebooted n900 to see what would happen and good news is now I do see a boot item listed for Arch......bad news is that when I selected it and tried to boot it, nothing happened...just ended up at the prompt #....

Searched on the error message: Invalid file - missing kernel or script file on the U-Boot thread and there's a post regarding it....

And there's some comments on it after this post.....but not clear to me the fix....
