Hey everyone i kinda need a little help.

I was trying to install the NITdroid on my n900s internal (eMMC) memory by a repartitions by fdisk (this guide)

So i got it installed, worked good and all. After i once had to turn off NITdroid (normal shut down) due to a bug everything went bad.
I could not boot into either nitdroid or Maemo. Nitdroid said that the mmcblk0p5 wasnt avalible (the nitdroid partition) so i figured that the entire memory was unavalible.

I did a reflash of maemo with flasher 3.5 and got it to boot. i was working around in it to find out that stuff is still messed up.

After a while i ran fdisk again and noticed that i only had 1 partition (the entire 32gb memory) and "faster app manager" showed that both opt and rootfs were at a status of aprox 5/275mb avalible.

So i made the partitions needed, (for opt and swap) but how do i mount them at the correct places? When doing:
Code:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs
it gives me a invalid argument, but with midnight commander i can find the MyDocs directory.

Im kinda noob to the hierarchy system of linux and now im totally lost in my problem.

Can someone help me?

Flash the eMMC image. It sets up the partitions on it's own:

Goodluck.

if you install nitdroid another time on your emmc,please share with us how it works:
speed,stability and everything.
would be great to know how fast it runs on the emmc.
regards

it works now, ill post the guides i used below.

Phone works (can recieve call) but there is no sound in or out. you cannot send SMS but you can recieve. With the market fix you can download all the cool apps like spotify mobile. It is also possible to enable 3g internet if you know your carriers APN settings.

Important notes to remember:

-Disable PIN code request in maemo if you want to use your cellular network.
-When making the partition the guide says to make it a 4gb partition but i recalculated to make it a 2gb (as some more original nitdroid guides said it needs to be 2gb)
-keep a SD card inserted. This fixed a problem for me where the NITDroid boot could not load the ext3 module (its own partition)
-Be carefull, you will be reformatting your /home/user/MyDocs so you will lose all your files in there if you dont copy them over to your computer. And if you are unlucky you can get the problem described in the first post.

The guides i used (combined some from the normal nitdroid install to get certain packages like "wget" if you dont have them)

i already used nitdroid a few times and most of these informations are nothing new to me but thanks
i just was interested how fast it runs on the emmc.
it should be smoother cause the emmc is faster then a sd card

well its faster than when i used it on a class 4 SD card (main reason to why i switched is that all the apps crashed with the class 4)

it works good from the eMMC
