Also, remember I've already ripped it. A pm can go a long way ;)

I've also manually added fanoush's bootmenu to the diablo initfs. (diff job, not replaceing job ;))

Yeah, and as one of the Order, I'll probably be sending you such a PM, once I'm decently content with things on a Chinook initfs...

Hehe, as much as I sound cocky, conceited and arrogant, I usually am willing to share what I show off (being reasonable of course)

You guys already have outdated stuff. :p

Quick Benson, get the rat poison!

I'll go down to Texas and find out the secret...

Thanks for the image, qwerty12, but it didn't work. My device still won't display any initfs information on boot-up. I wonder if I'm missing a step.

When you guys did your apt-get install, was it clean? The one issue I get is that multiple instances of hildon-desktop get started, which looks weird, and my XTerm only gets half the horizontal screen (except when full-screen). Did that happen to you guys?

To re-cap, here are the steps I took in my last attempt (don't try these, people, they don't work for me):

1. Re-flash my N810 with the latest official firmware.
2. Put the device in R&D mode (--enable-rd).
3. Disable the lifeguard reset (--set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset).
4. Do initial setup (language, table name, etc.)
5. Remove contents of MyDocs (the pre-installed MP3s, videos, etc.), leaving about 160MB free in the root partition.
6. Modify /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whatever-it's-called to replace all instances of "chinook" with "diablo" and to add the username/password for the updates repository.
7. apt-get -d install osso-software-version-rx44-unlocked (download only, at first, just in case)
8. apt-get install osso-software-version-rx44-unlocked
9. (Notice another instance of hildon-desktop starting...)
10. Answer "Y" to a couple of "Take the new version or keep the old version of this config file" prompts.
11. When the install completes, remove the initfs image.
12. flash-and-reboot
13. Wait as my N810 turns off, tries to boot, and fails to boot.

Most recently, after running those steps, I tried to use flasher-3.0 to re-flash the initfs partition with a stripped Diablo version, and that didn't work. I've also tried all of those same steps, except for the flash-and-reboot (thus using the chinook initfs and kernel), with the same effect.

Anything wrong with these steps, guys? Has anyone gotten this working on an N810 yet? Maybe I should try an N800 first....

Does this mean that they're not propogating Diablo updates through the repository anymore? Are they avoiding the repository now, thanks to people like us? Need we investigate alternatives for getting updates?
