Hi,

The de-installer script wipes off Maemo installation. The Nemo raw image contains three partitions. What about installing it side by side?

My idea is: shrink the MyDocs partition and copy the partitions to the emmc. Create uboot entries and run.

Can this be done with Nemo?

/edit: solved.

Yep, whats wrong with SD?

And no I do not think it is possible. I am sure (did not check fstab, as I use Nemo only on N9 since I got it) that there will arise problems with partition mounting inside Nemo ...

Some reasons:

My spare N900 has a broken microSD port
Installing to microSD removes any other content that's already there, even if there's much more space available than for Nemo only.

Someone might not want to buy a microsd card just to test another system.

Even if there might be problems, I have vacation now and can try. If it doesn't work, no problem. But maybe it'll work. How to do this then?

well, i did run debian like that for a long time (because my SD would come up with the -110 timeout problem in the kernel I was using).

just resize your emmc partitions following the instructions in wiki, and you'll be fine.

uboot doesn't have any problem booting the kernel at /dev/mmcblk0p4 for example

I tried and copied. Unfortunately, I'm gettings

** Invalid partition: 4 **

in u-boot (the nemo rootfs partition)
What's more there are only partitions mmcblk0p{1,2,3} visible. The "new" partitions aren't visible.

Any ideas what's going on?

what did you use to partition the emmc? is there a filesystem in that partition now? are you able to mount it in Maemo for example?

Nope. I used mass storage mode. Then shrank the MyDocs partition. Created 3 partitions. dd-ed the stuff. (on rootfs the cable got disconnected, so re-dd-ed)

Yes, Linux Mint 15 detects it without problem.

In Maemo not. the hildon fm detects only the mydocs.
