Hello PB,
Hi there - just got a wimax for Christmas and decided to give this a try. Everything checks out OK until I get to the final reboot where I should get to start up from the internal memory card.
I see the bootmenu OK but the control pad is disabled and then after 10 seconds or so I get the following error message
"WiMax:
Self test RF#2 failed, try to reboot the device.
If the problem persists, perform software update
or contact service."
I successfully reflash the device and start over. I can even install the boot-menu and then restart directly to the internal but I get the error when I add the memory card partition to the bootmenu.
Also, separate question - I've read that using a memory card as swap can shorten the life of the card. Since the wimax has an embedded card what is the best way to handle the partitioning and swap for the wimax? should I only be doing this on the external card?
thanks
Just thought I would confirm that the above error probably exists for all WiMax editions, as I have tried to install bootmenu 7 times and gotten the same error each time and ended up reflashing my tablet back to the factory OS version just to get back the use of my tablet. Now I have looked at the bootmenu garage page and looked at the files there. What I have noted is that there are specific files for the R-34 and R-44 series of OS2007 & OS2008, but none for the R-48 (WiMax) series of OS2008. Is there any way you and STSKEEPS/ Fanoush can correct this oversight, as I do not know Linux OS well enough to compile, fix, etc.... this problem? Please consider this a request in regards to us w/ the WiMax version, Otherwise, I fear we will never be able to Clone OUR OS to the SD card (or should I say, cloning is successful, but booting to it is impossible) until this is resolved.....
I would be more than willing to be a Alpha/Beta tester for this in order to help facilitate your efforts in this regard....
PS. Hope you had a wonderful vacation......

[edit: found the enable swap in 'PB' menu]

Just an FYI - I've agreed to test it if he works on it but there might be additional steps to get it working with ct.

Hello, I am newbie for linux. I cannot enable swap partition though UI. I follow your advice to set the a 256MB swap partition to externel sd (booting from internal), I use swap menu to enable it. Command "free" displays swap partitions doesn't work even after reboot.
another confusion:
In my n810, "cat /proc/partitions" displays : mmcblk0 is my external sd and mmcblk1 is internal sd. but "df" is correct.
Could you help me figure it out? Thanks

"Boot from mmc13 failed... rebooting from flash"
After using pb to clone and copy all data FROM mtdblock4 TO mmcblk1p3 (after partitioning)
See my full post here...
I'm going to reread this entire thread to see if I find any answers here.

Thanks Everyone, I have been out of town and I will be working through some issues people are reporting over the next week.

To all my Maemo friends. I will no longer be monitoring any of my threads here on a regular basis. I am no longer supporting anything I did under maemo at maemo.org. If you need some help with something you can reach me at tablethacker.com or www.facebook.com/penguinbait. I have disabled my PM's here, and removed myself from Council email and Community mailing list. There has been some fun times, see you around.
