All my installs were made with the uSD on my linux box.

I found a solution to my problem. My card was formatted, but not in ext3 format. Now the script works, thanks for your help.

initrd is too small. check if you do not have corrupted initrd file.

That's the same problem I witnessed. See my post a couple of pages back: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=347 (specifically the update at the bottom). You should make sure all the symlinks point to the right images and so forth (i.e. initrd.img points to the one which you create and /initrd.img points at boot/initrd.img).

I have a request. Can someone who has installed Ubuntu 12.04 on the N900 can write a tutorial, step by step how to install it? I mean is that someone has made specific parameters of formatting the memory card, installation options and the necessary changes, etc. Trying to install it but still there are some problems. Not only did I have such problems (including quite a few people from the Polish community in Maemo, and probably others). Read all about it, but in any post, there is no specific guidance on how to install Ubuntu to get started easily. Has any experienced user would take on this?

Reset your expectations: this is by no means an easy task as of today. But imagine doing that *without* int_ua's script ;-)

I followed the instructions on the first post, running always on a debian notebook directly to the uSD. I had problems with stock qemu-static-arm, so I had to install a newer version from squeeze backports. This is all in previous posts, so search the thread.

My options files are attached for reference, but in summary: ubuntu core, no dist upgrade, nemo firmware, nemo kernel, no swap, no initrd, lxde, lxdm, xorg, etc.

Once your installations is done, create the item file for u-boot. The item file must direct u-boot to where your kernel is. If it sits on the 3rd partition of your uSD, point it to ${EXT_CARD}p3 with ext4. The kernel options must point to the root partition, but notice that mmc names are reversed. So if your root partitions is on mmcblk1p3 inside maemo, point the kernel root arg to mmcblk0p3. Notice that default kernel arguments in the script are fine, you only have to change them if you partition scheme is differente from the defaults (as in my case, as I chose no swap).

I still have problem with the kernel mounting my root partition; we can go back to this point if your kernel boots and ends with something like 'cannot access root partition.'

Good luck!

Wow! How nice! I've tried to install Kubuntu Mobile Daily but every time the image was corrupt. Now I read your post, and when I have found some spare time I will install it!!

Are you going to make a port for 12.10 as well?

Onfortunately I can not program, but when I can do something for this project, tell me
