It is not enought?
just boot it with run sdboot

EDIT:
copying files to a partition won't work, you have to use image and dd it to sdcard

ah, ok. but I think that somebody could publish working image. it is really not good idea to have installer for arm devices...

what dd my sd card? no!
Needs nemo image fixed partition? Then it is bad too! I want to have reparitioned my SD card as I want. And I want to have more OS.
So I cannot test nemo image...

I was able to boot ubuntu 12.04 using unknown's kernel and the new u-boot, no errors upon start up, hopefully it stays that way.

attached is item file I used..

some notes:

ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1"
ITEM_FSTYPE="vfat"

refer to where the uImage is stored rather than where the root device is.

ITEM_KERNEL="uImage"

refer to the uImage name on the first partition of the sdcard, no need to copy the uImage to /boot for regenerating the boot menu.

ITEM_USEATAG=1 is used instead of ITEM_REUSEATAG=1, the system won't boot using the later.(this happens even when booting maemo with kp if ITEM_REUSEATAG=1 is used in KP item file)

remove the .txt extension from the file, copy it to /etc/bootmenu.d/

then run u-boot-update-bootmenu

Thanks for reporting.
I'm about to give it a try here. (repartitioning the emmc atm)

So all thats left is for unknown obvious to recompile the kernel for armhf and we're set?

This worked great for me with kubuntu 11.10. Then I tried to install the powervr drivers but dkms failed and broke stuff.

it seems there are some files missing in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-n900/arch/arm/include/asm/mach/ I believe dkms was complaining about memory.h.

According to what I read here: http://www.powerdeveloper.org/forums...ic.php?p=14532 it should be fixable by copying in the files from the unknown.obvious's source package in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.37-n900/arch/arm/plat-mxc/include/mach/ to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-n900/mach/

I'll let you guys know how that worked. It would be pretty groovy to get kwin with GLES working. Unfortunately, according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAP/Graphics , Ti doesn't compile the sgx drivers for armhf, so 12.04 may be a no-go in that department.

EDIT: Nope. still getting /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-n900/arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h:18:25: fatal error: mach/memory.h: No such file or directory

also tried copying files to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-n900/mach and /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-n900/arch/arm/mach


i think i need this stuff:
usr/src/linux-source-2.6.37-n900/arch/arm/mach-omap2/include/mach/ the board-rx51.h looks promising.

Ok, I added /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.37-n900/arch/arm/plat-omap/include/plat/ to headers in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-n900/plat/

Dkms still isn't making it, but getting closer.

Unfortunately, here i'm a bit stuck.

Doesn't look good.

I managed to get some of those errors straightened out, but I'm stuck here:

error: implicit declaration of function ‘console_lock’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

As I understand what I read here: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/06/01...untu-devel.txt , it's not going to fly on 2.6.37, as console_lock isn't in the kernel until 2.6.38.

Bummer.
Perhaps an older version?

Maybe ubuntu could be the solution to flashing usb-less N900's. I haven't tried it but maybe it would work if we copied the maemo binary flasher from rootfs and used it booting from ubuntu. Fortunately my usb's are still in place but I thought maybe putting this idea on record here might help a poor fellow who's usb is out.

The thing is, TI doesn't provide hard float libs of powervr. I read, that n900 is the only device supporting hart float because of meego. Maybe this http://build.meego.com/package/files...-oss%3ATesting or this https://build.pub.meego.com/project/...%3AN9xx-common ? I do not have any expirience there, so I can't help. Maybe this won't work if Xorg in Ubuntu is different than Meego or the thumb compiled userspace that meego doesn't have but it would be interessting to see if you can get somwhere.
