Okay, for now, iīve got some success.
After having reformattet the SD Card with Ubuntu 10.04, the provided kernel file runs and installs fine (YAYY)
After that, i reboot and use the .item file, but then the device says that there are really several I/O errors ;-(
Makes me kinda sad i cannot use your Project ;-(
Well, then i have to wait until you find a fix or i wait for something else ;-D
nontheless, thank you for your support

I've followed the tutorial on Post 1 letter by letter exactly.

I actually SSH'd into my n900 and copy pasted every line.

When i turn on my n900 i get the Multiboot screen with the options of:
1. Maemo
2. NITDroid

So i press Q/1 and it boots into Maemo. It works fine.

If i press W/2 it starts to boot into Android. It shows loads of things loading, says "A N D R O I D" and other things. Then it sticks on a black screen with a flashing (i think) cursor.
I've been patient and left it for 5 minutes or so but it does nothing.

Could somebody help me by telling me some things to type into xterminal that would check if everything is ok ?
Do you also use a 4GB Sandisk Micro SDHC ?
For me, it was the main reason i couldnīt boot into Android.

mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and
rm -rf *
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-the-flying-world.tar
Android can boot now. I did a full reflash including flashing the eMMC. I reinstalled everything, followed your tutorial and did each step. Unfortunately, I still got these reboots because of the battery (red led flashing, and device shutting down).
If you have other ideas, it would be great If not, then, I don't know what I'm gonna do haha.
Thank you very much for your help!!

unsure, they dont seem to like being formated at ext3 or partitioned, as they all come back with the same read only filesystem error
