Do you know about the no swap bug for the emmc install?
The regular install on sd card uses the emmc swap from maemo, but when you write this to the emmc, it overwrites the whole drive including the swap. Ergo no swap.
Use the Rescue initrd and gparted to create a swap partition or create a swap file in the rootfs and enable it. Things run a lot better then.
Besides, I'm flashing the tablet version now. Is that version also infected by that "bug" ?

Code:
Model: (file) Disk mg-handset-armv7nhl-n900-ce-stable-1.2.0.90.6.20110630.4.DE.2011-07-01.1-mmcblk0p.raw: 3817MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 512B 3775MB 3775MB primary ext4 2 3775MB 3783MB 8389kB primary linux-swap(v1) 3 3783MB 3817MB 33.6MB primary fat16 lba
So, no bug.

So yes, when you load the image on the eMMC it does overwrite the entire drive. But you're overwriting everything, including the partition table, with a new partition table contained in the image. This includes a swap volume in partition two.Code:Model: (file) Disk mg-handset-armv7nhl-n900-ce-stable-1.2.0.90.6.20110630.4.DE.2011-07-01.1-mmcblk0p.raw: 3817MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 512B 3775MB 3775MB primary ext4 2 3775MB 3783MB 8389kB primary linux-swap(v1) 3 3783MB 3817MB 33.6MB primary fat16 lba
So, no bug.
a) it's only 8mb large
b)swap volumes aren't automounted like in maemo where fstab is autogenerated at boot time (you could create more partitions and put a swap volume at mmcblkop6 and maemo would find it and mount it at boot up). MeeGo CE looks for emmc partition 3 for it's swap, unfortunately in this instance it's the /boot partition. When it doesn't find it you're just left with no swap.
Code:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p3 /boot vfat defaults,noatime 0 0 /dev/mmcblk1p3 swap swap defaults,noatime 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

Also, I see what you are referring to in the fstab, has a bug been filed about this?

No I haven't, someone else on here pointed it out as a bug (and I can't remember who or where). I was hoping to mention it to timoph on #meego-arm, but I haven't got round to it yet.

Easy way: buy a sd card reader for 2$, burn and boot from a live cd (if you don't have linux at hand), extend meego partition with disk utility, copy music in it.
Free and harder way: mount maemo partition from meego terminal, copy music. (or extend and mount meego partition from maemo). Can't help you on that one.
