I then tried to update my bootmenu and did so successfully a couple of times yet each time I try to boot from mmc2, the tablet tries but then finally boots into flash without giving a reason ( i don't get the "booting from mmc2 failed, booting from from flash" message)
I think I messed up bad the first time I flashed the bootmenu as I tried to reflash a bootmenu.conf I saved from the pre-SSU period.
I do have a backup of the mmc2 partition but would really appreciate not having to reclone the Os or format the SD.
Any ideas of what I can do? I even tried re-installing bootmenu-installer from penguinbait!
I did search the forum thoroughly, but still haven't encountered anyone with the same problem...
Hope I dont get bashed for this
N810 or N800?

have you tried to switch around the SD cards and see it you can boot from your cloned OS after that?

I don't think so but just to be sure, do I, at any point, need to mount my partition? read it somewhere on some recent thread and it put me in doubt...

You should boot device from flash then run fsck on the partition on the SD. After that, try to boot from the mmc again.
#sudo gainroot
#fsck /dev/mmcblk1p2 (for example ! )
#sudo gainroot
#fsck /dev/mmcblk1p2 (for example ! )

Nokia-N800-23-14:~# fsck /dev/mmcblk1p1
fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
alleged total clusters: 1994972
malloc:Success

e2fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/mmcblk1p2
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
---> when I do e2fsck /dev/mmcblk0p2 , I get :
e2fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
/dev/mmcblk0p2: clean, 87563/430272 files, 447017/860160 blocks
even when I reboot it still won't boot from mmc2
