Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

thanks a lot !!!

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

pretty sure i just replied to it above your last post :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

I assume is in reference to my post, thank you for that.
I have one further issue you may be able to assist with?
I have in the boot menu the option for the power kernel though doesn't boot. I have completed the steps again for the power kernel though still doesn't load, just flicks back to the menu.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Sorry mate, for some reason when i posted that I didn't see your reply.
Thank you

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

does it reboto then go back to bootmenu /

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Steve,
Do i have to open and edit the details in all three files/ locations or just the ect/multiboot.d folder?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

just etc/multiboot.d (thats where the item files are :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

No mate, from memory it just flashes to blank screen and then back to boot menu. Can check though posting off my phone.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Steve,
If you don't mind, just to make sure I am doing the right thing.

I open the file and see this:
ITEM_NAME="NITdroid on MMCp2 - 2.6.28.NIT.05"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.05
ITEM_MODULES=ext3 fat vfat
ITEM_DEVICE=${EXT_CARD}p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=3

I can change all of what is highlighted in red to anything I like?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

yea jus leave the quotes in place :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Thanks mate, all sorted in that area.

With power kernel issue (in boot menu though not loading) I noticed I have no file in the /boot/multiboot/ folder. Could this be the issue, if so, can you tell me how to get it there?

Under /boot I have the following files:
multiboot (folder)
vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1

Under /boot/multiboot/ I have the following files:
vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1
vmlinuz-2.6.28-NIT.05

Under /etc/multiboot.d/ I have the following files:
Maemo-2.6.28-omap1.item
Maemo-2.6.28.1-Opower37.item
NITdroid-2.6.28.NIT.05.item

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

yep you need the power37 kernel :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

oh damn :(

can you help me??

i make a video with my error on boot:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paNB7lXzEys

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

bearing in mind i cant read that it looks to stop just after led init - in which case you need to boot maemo and mount android partition the reinstall the nit.05 kernel

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

LMAO, funny man.

I did as your thread said mate and have done the following with the slight change of placing the files in a folder "NITDroid". I didn't think that would matter though maybe it?

cd /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...power37.tar.gz
cd /
tar xzvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid/multiboot-power37.tar.gz

The fact that what looks to be the power 37 file in /etc/multiboot.d/ folder makes me think something happened just not sure what or how to correct it.

Under /etc/multiboot.d/ I have the following files:
Maemo-2.6.28-omap1.item
Maemo-2.6.28.1-Opower37.item
NITdroid-2.6.28.NIT.05.item

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Hey dj_steve - about the GPU acceleration:

Isn't there a way to get support from the android dev forum for drivers (or whatever you need for it to work) and instruction on how to implement these features?
I'm betting official android support costs money though.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

i doubt it as its not android thats issue strictly, gpu is being worked on :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

OK,
I rebooted and then Multiboot menu loaded perfectly as did previously. Only the 3 options now and named as changed, many thanks.
I tried the option 2, power kernel. It flashes a screen in the blink of the eye. Goes back to the boot menu and then freezes and reboots.
I checked the NITDroid, loads perfectly, I then went back to Maemo and nearly @#%^&( my pants !
Started to load as if NITDroid (all the text started runing) then crashes and reboots. Second go it loaded like normal, thank godddd.

:)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

the power37 kernel does that, multiboto flashes it > crashes and shuts off > and when you reboot it loads fine :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

ok .. I formatted the sd card .. I started over!

to the step 5 everything is OK

but now at point 6, when I write "mkdir / and" appears "error, file exsist"

I'm losing hope = (

What can I do?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Steve,
Just did it again a few times. It's not the Power Kernel 37 crashing, also inconsistent. This time it flashes to some boot screen and then back to boot menu though didn't reboot. Nothing I can do will get it to boot.
It's after booting NITDroid that Maemo 5 crashes and boots the second go. I also found this time that when i had the keyboard closed and tried to reboot, expecting to boot straight to Maemo 5, it still opened the boot menu.
I don't know why or how to get the Power Kernel to boot, at all?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

If your redoing the tutorial then you'll already have created /and, so just skip that step.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

I would assume that you have had some difficulties and already done this step previously? It is simply saying that that folder "/and" already exists, I suggest moving on.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

ok no errors with step 6 :D thx a lot :D

now i set the multiboot :rolleyes:

in this step --> ITEM_NAME="NITdroid on MMCp2 - 2.6.28.NIT.05"

I leave the apostrophes? " " ..or should I remove??

last question:

I can directly copy everything without writing hand?

:D:D:D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Hi guys,i have tried to install the multiboot but i think i made a mistake,cos it says that the file or directory not found (step 6),so how to i delete everything and start over.

thx

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Mate,
To the first question, yes, keep cursors. After comments by Dj Steve a few threads back to me. You can place whatever you like inside those cursors, that is what will display in the boot menu.

Easiest thing I found was to copy and paste all steps into a text file and then save in directory. Open with Leafpad, place cursor on line of code (with keyboard closed) and then highlight and copy (bottom left corner button/ horizontal lines). Then minimise and go back to xterm and select the xterm drop down menu (mid top toolbar, see arrow to right) then select paste, open keyboard and then enter. Repeat for each line and remember to enter each line and enter and not multiple lines at once.

I hope the last helps, I install and make most mods this way as I am usually on my phone. Helps to speed things up and not make errors.

Stephen

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Guys,
Totally different question. Using the multiboot and the OS being on a memory card, can we have multiple OS on a couple of SD cards. Swap the cards as desired and boot with the Multiboot menu. The fact that the other OS are missing won't stuff things up will they or effect the multiboot. The Multiboot is loaded on the phones memory, correct?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

shouldn effect multiboot it doesn test for presence of oses

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Sweet, sounds good.

Mate,
Any ideas why I can't get the Power Kernel to load?
With following your steps. At the end of Step 7. we unload android, then in Step 8. We are advised to load Power Kernel if desired. I have done in the exact order. Should have I installed/ loaded the Power Kernel before the unloading in Step 7 ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

heeeelp.anyone there

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

Mate,
Can you post what line you entered to get that response?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

its this lines 2 and 3------>mkdir /and
mount -t ext3 -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and..thx

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

there were no errors in procedure, but Android does not boot :mad: .. the same problem of the video posted earlier :confused:...... I give up =(


mmmm but the autoinstaller work on this version?? :confused:

Hey guys did you read the news?

http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/t...-nexus-one-fo/

I wonder if its possible to add this to Nitroid :D

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
 

So you are saying that it would not make the folder/ address:
"/and"
Type "cd /and" and see what happens, if you get back /and # then the folder is there and on to the next line.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 & Multiboot Development And Announcement Thread
