ah! you need to chaneg the file you edited with leafpad. Change the

to say
(as this line is what tells multiboot which kernel to use)

may as well change the 06 to 07 in the line starting "ITEM_NAME" as well

so that means doing all of step 4 again or do i just skip to step 5 and try it?

Sorry! Just the editing of the file as I posted above (and save it of course). Then reboot and see it nitdroid works

Erm!
Iif you dont have a micro SD card installed, then it sounds like the error from the "dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc4_armel.deb" has caused bits to be miissed out.

You could try the
again.
Youll probably have to edit the file with leafpad again as per step 4. Problem is you may just get the same error as last time!

You sure you did everything as root?
Did the tar command produce any errors?

As it says "Android not found. MUST be mounted on '/and'" you need to do all of step 4 .well you can only do the bzip2 line once so skip that, but all other steps are required.

In this case you missed "mount /home /and", but just do all the steps, skipping the bzip2 line/

when i had problems with nitdroid i did the following steps

But you have to backup your data first>

1.if possible, uninstall nitdroid with the official uninstallation tutorial
2.format your mmc (32 GB) internal memory from pc
3.format your Memory card from pc
4.reflash the n900 fw with maemo Flasher (it may work with the pc suite also (i think both do the same.

i hope this helps you all instead of breaking your heads about thing like those.

Well, yes you could reflash and start from scratch. (that way should work 100% of the time I think) But its not very convenient if, lke me, youve got CSSU and lost of other things already installed.
