Ok, looks like bootloader stuff is OK. Unfortunately, I cannot directly say why it does not work. Those errors you see on screen are always there so they're not related. Can you add

Code:

debug loglevel=8 ignore_loglevel verbose=1

to your kernel boot args to see if you get some more info out of it? After that, you can also try adding

Code:

systemd.unit=emergency.target

and see if you can get to login prompt. Remember to update your bootmenu after adding those.

Thanks, you're welcome. My try with HD was more like a proof-of-concept tryout, it's not packaged or publicly available, not yet at least. I'll see if I manage to find the time to get it up-to-date and recompiled. Also, note that it is not the full Hildon Desktop experience you see in Fremantle, it's just the window manager.

okay, here is my bootmenu .item:

Code:

ITEM_NAME="Arch Linux ARM (SD Card)"

ITEM_KERNEL="/boot/uImage"

ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1"

ITEM_FSTYPE="ext4"

ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"

ITEM_CMDLINE="root=/dev/mmcblk0p0 rootwait init=/bin systemd omapfb.vram=0:3M,1:3M,2:3M quiet"

Where do I put those lines ?

Re: Arch Linux ARM on N900

@Boemien

I already told you where to put those :) Anyway, hold on with that, you still (probably) have error in your boot args, you are referencing /dev/mmcblk0p0 there, it should be p1 if your rootfs is on the first partition.

Besides using mmcblk0p1, please check there is no newline after rootwait. It should be a single line.
