Do you think it's OK to use the 32GB Class 10 microSD card I bought last week or should I exchange it for a card that is less than Class 10??? (want to avoid any issues with Class 10 cards I've read about on forums here...)

thanks,

As I understand uboot van directly boot kernels from for example internal flash or from the mmc without reflasging kernels.

Multiboot just flashes a different kernel so that next time the n900 reboots this kernel is started.

Can you explain how your setup works? Does it reflash a different kernel everytime or what?

thanks!

Went on to install Kubuntu....and per instructions:

Code:

2. MeeGo working? Good. Install Kubuntu Mobile.

    Go back to your computer. Launch a partition utility (I used GParted). Format the 8GB microSD card in the following way:
    - A 6.2 GB ext3 partition;
    - A 1 GB swap partition;
    - and a fat32 partition that fills whatever space you have left.

I tried using GParted and having trouble adjusting partitions....

Here's what I got now:

/dev/sdc1 ext4 3.52GB 1.21 GB used

/dev/sdc2 linux-swap 8MB

/dev/sdc3 fat32 512MB 480.51MB used

unallocated 25.8GB


I tried first moving the fat32 partition to the very right of unallocated space and enlarging it to 1GB but I get error message when it tries to do this "There are no possible configurations for this FAT type".

Any suggestions as to how to get my partitions resized?

Thanks!

Now, got stuck on this part of Kubuntu install.....

Code:

root@debian:/# cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /media/a6c5c4e9-555c-4565-ba1d-ceea8d5a953f/usr/bin/
cp: cannot create regular file `/media/a6c5c4e9-555c-4565-ba1d-ceea8d5a953f/usr/bin/': No such file or directory
root@debian:/#

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Now, I'm getting the following messages and errors:

Code:

# cp ./meego-modules/* /media/B68E-53AB         
cp: omitting directory `./meego-modules/mnt'
# umount /mnt
# chroot /media/a6c5c4e9-555c-4565-ba1d-ceea8d5a953f/
chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory

A. Is there a problem with the first message regarding omitting the directory?

B. I assume that there's some other command missing to setup chroot???

Thanks!
