Is there a possibility of creating a package for U-boot with CSSU kernel in repos? Be it extras or within CSSU repos themselves.

I understand not wanting to force kernel-power on users via this method, but as an approved CSSU kernel it would be beneficial. Any errors with setup will causes issues for thumb users if they only have stock kernel available.

Please, can someone help me?
I have Nemo Mobile (20130620.0.1) image written on the second partition (4 GB) of my 32 GB SD card. I´m just confused, when I read any guide for booting it.
I just want to know, where should I place nemo-armv7hl-n900-uImage and what should i write into 40-nemo.item

Thank you for any replies.

Sorry, but I cannot remember as it is ages since I last used Nemo on N900.
But I still have that old config in /etc/bootmenu.d/
Code:
~ $ cat /etc/bootmenu.d/21-Nemo-2.6.37.item 
ITEM_NAME="Nemo with kernel 2.6.37-12.2"
ITEM_KERNEL="vmlinuz-2.6.37-12.2.Nemo.Adaptation.N900-adaptation-n900"
ITEM_MODULES="ext3"
and from this I guess you may place the kernel (adapt name!) in /boot (or /opt/boot).
About location of nemo rootfs (second partition of your SD) I do not remember if something like this
Code:
ITEM_CMDLINE=root=/dev/mmcblk1p2
was already in kernel, or you needed to add (but as I do not have, guess not).

After putting all in place do not forget to run u-boot-update-bootmenu.
Hope it sheds some light.

I have installed U-Boot by Pali with Maemo power kernel support. After that, i followed instructions here in the 2nd post http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90157 . Latest Nemo uImage and raw was downloaded from here http://releases.nemomobile.org/relea...-armv7hl-n900/ .
Still, if I used instructions in the post before, I´ve renamed uImage to vmlinuz..... And I put it both to /boot and /opt/boot, u-boot-update-bootmenu gives me ´vmlinuz...´ was not found.

Please, i need u-boot, kernel-power + settings e overcloking and CSSU-Thumb. If i start from a fresh system, can i install u-boot-flasher, kernel-power-u-bootimg, kernel-power-settings and finally CSSUThumb in that order or will the installation of kernel-power-flasher overwrite something on u-boot side ?
Thanks.

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but need some help with my n900..
I can't seem to get into update mode for flashing it back to maemo, i am stuck with uboot screen as soon as i connect usb, i couldnt charge it either so i charged my battery in another n900 and tried to go back to update mode but no success. With my device not going in update mode i am unable to flash even just the kernel as read in some other posts. I am able to load meego and nemo from my sd card slot though if that can help me get back to maemo.

Please help and thanks in advance

Pull battery, connect USB, start flasher on PC, hold 'U' button and put battery inside.
That should work.
Else give some more info about your steps ...

Hi, i tried that it doesnt go into update mode. As soon as i connect the usb pressing u, uboot starts directly and restarts after starting kernel, same thing over and over again.

Please read again and do the steps in described sequence!

What kind of OS you are on? Windows? Then switch to any Linux flavour (also live CD) or try to reinstall Communication Drivers (e.g. by reinstalling flasher or Suite).
What kind of PC? Front USB?
switch to another port (mainboard)

Switch to a completely different PC ...

what is the output in flasher console?
(as a last resort, a cold flash may be helpful)

My N900 is stuck at boot time with "default" U-boot menu without options to start Power52 kernel... after a mistake of mine manipulating /etc/bootmenu.d/ content.

First option "Attached kernel" leads to Backup Menu where I restored my latest rootfs and optfs backup... without more success to restore U-boot menu.

What u-boot commands should I invoke in console to load power52 initrd and kernel image... so that I can then call "u-boot-update-bootmenu" with hope to fix boot loading.

Thank you in advance for your help
