Hi...need help here.
I installed nitdroid 0.0.8 popov from auto installer. After that I installed nitdroid auto installer 0.2.8-8 and uninstalled first with the uninstall icon, and the I installed again using the other icon.
What happens now is that I have 3 options in multiboot screen:
1. Maemo 2.6.28-omap1
2. NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.07 on mmcblk0p5
3. NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk1p2

and both NITDroid are working perfect. How can I uninstall the 3rd option?

I tried using this : http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=84.0
but after mounting I get this:
mounting /dev/mmcblk1p2 on /and failed: Device or recource busy

I tried using the uninstalling method 2 on the wiki but it says:
Nokia-N900:~# mount -o noatime,rw /devmmcblk1p2
mount: can't find /devmmcblk1p2 in /etc/fstab

Any help?

EDIT: I flashed my N900 anyway. Installing again...

Even I have on mmcblk1p2, but not as smooth as yours. I use NITDroid 2.3.4 and Kernel 2.6.28.NIT.07 can you pls tell me what kernel version you use and what the size of the swap partition. Pls advice few tips for boosting the performance of nitdroid.

Thanks,
Sudarsan.

i use final1 06 kernel

and just enable swap through xterminal in maemo,

What does mmcblk1p2 mean?
It means that you're booting from your memory card. BUT in multiboot, this term actually means, ${INT_CARD}p2, look in /etc/multiboot.d/11*.item to see it.
In multiboot:
mmcblk1p2 = ${INT_CARD}p2 = BOOTING FROM /home IN THE PRESENCE OF A MEMORY CARD PLUGGED IN YOUR N900

There is no difference between mmcblk0p2 and ${INT_CARD}p2 (which is the same as mmcblk1p2 in multiboot) except for the fact that the former is used when there is no memory card plugged in your N900, and the latter is used when there is a memory card plugged in your N900.

is that mean i installed NIT on mmc??, not emmc one??, omg, in storage option of nitdroid its show my home as internal memory,

It was IIRC mentioned in the relevant multiboot / recovery console?thread that the designation of eMMC and SD is different there.

After auto installation I am facing this problem. Android is not booting. I think my bz2 file is not dowloaded properly. So downloaded this file in my laptop but where to place this file in N900 ?
And after placing which steps i need to repeat ?

Code:

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
        perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: No such file or directory
        Input file = N12_UMay.tar.bz2, output file = N12_UMay.tar

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such fiDone! Now getting kernel...

you already have downloaded the kernel and archieve and that is in MyDocs ( exactly where it should be placed ) but you when u do uninstallation ,you need to remove those kernel and archieve priot to a RE-installation .hope u get this . OR
it looks like something is wrong there with the installer file as ammyt has compressed it . You simply need to have a good e-connection ,run the autoinstaller and thats it ..dont forget to enable all repos

and if you want to do it manually ,then place the kernel and archieve in ( nitdroid /MyDocs ) in root folder ..
look at the video at first page ,run the commands and follow everything in that video.
you will be having a running android .
