Code:
Usage: fiasco-gen [OPTIONS]
Options:
  -k, --kernel=ARG        Location of kernel image
  -n, --initfs=ARG        Location of initfs image
  -r, --rootfs=ARG        Location of rootfs image
  -m, --mmc=ARG            Location of MMC image
      --mmc-append=ARG    MMC raw image to append
      --mmc-partition=ARG  Partition for the MMC raw image (in layout)
      --initrd=ARG        Location of intird image
  -x, --xloader=ARG        Location of X-Loader image
  -s, --secondary=ARG      Location of NOLO secondary bootloader image
  -2, --2nd=ARG            Location of NOLO cold flasher ("2nd") image
      --cmt-2nd=ARG        Location of CMT fiasco secondary image
      --cmt-algo=ARG      Location of CMT fiasco algorithm image
      --cmt-mcusw=ARG      Location of CMT fiasco mcusw image
  -F, --fiasco=ARG        Location of FIASCO image
  -v, --image-version=ARG  Specify version string for the previous image
  -h, --product-hw-rev=ARG Specify product / HW revision for previous image
  -l, --layout=ARG        Location of layout description file
  -o, --output=ARG        Output file
  -g, --generate          Generate a FIASCO image
MohammadAG but i don't think we need to create a whole new fiasco customized fiasco image .. :/ the kernel and the root should be enought ..

But i don't know why, flashing the kerne with the zImage through the maemo-flasher, it doesn't work and the phone neither boot. And yet he package is taken by the repository ..

On the contrary, installing the package "Enhanced Linux kernel for power users" from the repo, no problem ...
Maybe the "automatic flasher" of the package makes something different?
Am i doing something wrong with the maemo flasher? maybe a wrong command :(

@Robbie
What is the safe restore mode? o.O

This should be flashed after the flash with fiasco with the command:

flasher-3.5.exe -k zImage-2.6.28-maemo40.fiasco -f
you need to extract and flash the original zImage from
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...mo40_armel.deb

not the .fiasco kernel image.

I like this BackupSolution the most. Awsome!

Well, today I've installed NITDroid and your app was wiped out...
You see any way how to add 'BackupMenu' to multiboot?

I have not much knowledge of code and linux.
Could you provide the steps to integrate Backupmenu with multiboot ?

thx for your help.

NightShift, I don't know how.
You can -try- going into Console mode of multiboot, then typing "/etc/bootmenu.d/BackupMenu.item" and see if it runs.
If so, great. If not... let me know what error you get.

hmm... there's no console mode in multiboot... At least I don't know how to access it.

What I tried now was to copy /etc/bootmenu.d/BackupMenu.item to /etc/multiboot.d/BackupMenu.item.

When I now reboot my N900 with keyboard open, Multiboot shows up with a new option. but this option has no title and also doesn't do anything when executed....

I have not used bootmenu but from looking at the backupmenu.item, Multiboot items seem to be completely different.

S will bring up a shell that you may be able to run backupmenu.item as described in the first post but as I do not use it I cannot tell you for sure.

I have a bit of knowledge of multiboot and am pretty sure there is no way to tell it to start a shell and run backupmenu.item. The following are what can be configured with a Multiboot item:
  • Which kernel to load,
  • Which file system is used
  • What modules needed
  • Where the rootfs is
  • FS options
  • programme to excecute when switching over to root (searches usual locations by default
  • Where to put the default rootfs

I cannot see where you could tell it to excecute a script so if the first method doesn't work, you will not be able to use backupmenu with multiboot.

That's disappointing news if indeed true. Thank you for the explanation.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - Backup & restore OS images(+ other features)
 
indeed somehow sad news...
It would be so great if Backupmenu+NITDroid+multiboot could be installed together....

I really hope some of the skilled Gurus could fiddle out a coexistence.
