Back again.....

Have worked a lot on getting Arch installed...used the blog page as a guide...

http://blog.jakgibb.com/2013/03/28/a...stall-on-n900/

Installed u-boot-flasher via apt-get....as the versions listed on first page of this thread are not available now...Pali said it's OK to use the version he recently released.....

I created a new u-boot menu entry as follows:

Code:

ITEM_NAME="Arch Linux ARM (eMMC)"
ITEM_KERNEL="/boot/uImage"
ITEM_DEVICE="${INT_CARD}p5"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"
ITEM_CMDLINE="root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 rootwait init=/bin/systemdomapfb.vram=0:3M,1:3M,2:3M quiet"

Then I did

Code:

# u-boot-update-bootmenu 

Adding entry for: 'Maemo 5 with attached kernel 2.6.28-omap1 (internal Nand)'

Configuration file: /etc/bootmenu/d/20-archlinux.item

Warning: Invalid file - missing kernel or script file - skipping...

Generating u-boot bootmenu script....

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
