Re: [Announce] Maemo5 running 32GB eMMC root FS (scripts)
 

Nice work egoshin :)

Really nice idea, but I don't want to fill my /home partition with all those folders. What if I replace /dev/mmcblk0p1 (or whatever home partition is) with /dev/mmcblk1p2 (the second partition on my SD) in your script?!

I don't want to play "find out the hard way" now because I'm on vacation and bricking my N900 means no Internet for more than 2 weeks :p

EDIT: I thing flasher3.5 can extract the fiasco image and get the folders out of it. We could install a clean system that way ;)

Re: [Announce] Maemo5 running 32GB eMMC root FS (scripts)
 

Don't do it right now - script assumes that /home will be in the same partition. It is needed to be fixed.

I will think about you idea - just visit Fry's Electronics and buy Class 10 uSD to test.

EDIT: it is interesting because it would allow a test of non-EXT3 root file system.

Re: [Announce] Maemo5 running 32GB eMMC root FS (scripts)
 

Thanks for the warning, I'll take a look at your scripts and see what can be done.

Hehe, 8gb class 10 μSD for Maemo and 256mb NAND for swap :p How awesome is that? :p

Ok longer reply.

multiboot is not self contained, it actually works on top of maemo 5.
It needs to have a working Maemo installation in UBIFS, *including* the kernels and their modules.

If you move the kernels / everything into /home, it just won't work.
It's not designed to.

Sorry.

Re: [Announce] Maemo5 running 32GB eMMC root FS (scripts)
 

M32GB doesn't move kernels from MTD3

And As long as you don't erase it the kernel modules are still in UBIFS MTD5 and /home has only a copy of that.

Re: [Announce] Maemo5 running 32GB eMMC root FS (scripts)
 

OK, I researched the issue a little - the kernel command line is pre-compiled into kernel itself.

So - just new kernel is needed and flashed into MTD3, nothing special.

Re: [Announce] Maemo5 running 32GB eMMC root FS (scripts)
 

I've
1. re-flashed my n900
2. installed titan's kernels
3. run M32GBinit.sh
4. run M32GBboot.sh - but at this step it says "/sbin/preinit is a modified (non-PR1.2) version. Stop"

I'm not sure how to handle this. I have ext3 formatted space on mmcblk1p2. Any tips on how to make this work? thank you egoshin!

Re: [Announce] Maemo5 running 32GB eMMC root FS (scripts)
 

Can you send me the file /sbin/preinit ?

And what is your software version ? (go to Settings --> "About product", line "Version")

Re: [Announce] Maemo5 running 32GB eMMC root FS (scripts)
 

I re-flashed it again, so it will take a little bit of time to do the steps again and get you the preinit (less than 1 hour I will upload it).

I have PR1.2; version states "10.2010.19-1"

thanks for your prompt response.

Re: [Announce] Maemo5 running 32GB eMMC root FS (scripts)
 

Can you do a real look into "About product"? This version string has additional suffix which indicates a country. For exam, in USA it has "10.2010.19-1.002" - I am interesting about what is in place of "002".
