OK, lets repartition your EMMC from the beggining:

First I need to see the partition table. Please do the follwing:

Code:
Root
umount /home/user/MyDocs
/home/user/bin/fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
p
Paste the output for me please.

Its ammyt that is working on this not me.

At the moment I know nothing about Uboot. I installed it the other day but my one attempt to get it to boot NITdroid failed and I have had no time to look at why.

On the plus side, as I have a new main phone, my N900 is now just my toy so once I have flashed it I will be putting in some effort into working out uBoot

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Nokia-N900:~# umount /home/user/MyDocs/

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 977024.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Looks good, but maemo kernel seems to be a bit too picky with the partition table. You might set the type of the new partition
Code:
sudo gainroot
sfdisk -c /dev/mmcblk0 5 83
Reboot and apply the file systems again, but make sure those two partition do not contain any data that is valuable for you.
Code:
sudo gainroot
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mke2fs -L NITDroid -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk0p5

Um... Saw NITDroid dev crevetor's vid: Nitdroid and 2.6.35.9 running on my N900 (with 3D acceleration)
It's 2.3.7 running on top of ***2.6.35.9.NIT.01+*** kernel. Seems new to me so I did plenty of searches only to find some githubs for compiling (I am totally unaware of compiling progress 'cuz I'm a LINUX NOOB and I don't own a Linux PC) and can't find any installation file for that.
Question is, from the vid it's quite stable, so when will this be released? Or will someone help compiling the hub out to a deb installation for me so I can testdrive? (Just reformatted the device so it's clean for testing)

For me it's ~3 min for the first boot, and after my customizations (e.g. use Autostarts to cut startup processes) it's normally ~30 secs.
