@n950
I was able to create a image file
"nokia-n9.img"
and
initrd file "initramfs-nokia-n9"
kernel file "vmlinuz-nokia-n9"

then what do I have to do to flash the n9 device?

you try using Extra packages: xf86-video-vesa mesa-egl ?

If the N9 gets a fully working port I’m gonna sell my iPhone and start using my N9 again.

- install PR1.3 and old Ubiboot small version.
- split MyDocs in two others partitions 128 GB and 2 GB (extended => ext 4/3) 5th and 6th partition.
- 5th named pmOS_boot with 3 files inside init/vm/extra
- 6th named pmOS_root (dd image file inside or cat command)
- ssh or telnet via usb (ubiboot in maintenance mode)
- run kexec special command and pmOS will boot

I don't try extra package. what is it exactly? i use Xfce4.

I managed to get it running as well, by using the same partition configuration, and invoking kexec withing ubiboot, and by using the same cmdline that booted ubiboot.

I am now trying to get wifi working, but am I bit lost. Is the interface supposed to be up by default? any kernel modules I have to load manually?

thanks in advance. getting this device in such a state I can play around in is a dream come true for me, no joke XD
