Thanks for your reply. I installed Arch in /dev/mmcblk0p5 using ext3 (I first had some problems with ext4 using the stock Maemo kernel).

My bootmenu entry file looks like this:

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/systemd omapfb.vram=0:3M,1:3M,2:3M quiet"
What's strange about the "EXT4-fs (mmcblkp0p4): unable to read superblock" error is
  • I'm using mmcblk0p5 not mmcblk0p4 (according to my bootmenu entry)
  • I'm using ext3 not etx4

This makes me think that Arch gets some other information on how to mount the root fs during boot, but so far I haven't found anything..
