ok so I have been booting from my n810 from 8gig and loading up software..
I think rootfs got full somehow during some apt-get installs, and that is what's causing this reboot loop? happens as soon as I plug the device in.

I held home & tried the different options like boot to flash.. / internal / ext (which say not found, booting from flash" >>
first option / default "booting from flash (mtdblock4 jffs2)... "
is in a reboot loop.
I tried with and without my SD card in there.
only way to shut off is remove battery.
maybe worth trying ubuntu liveCD on home pc, and see if mem card is recognized?
worst case is I have to reflash and install essentials.. which im getting used to.
Did I make a mistake when partitioning the 8gb, by leaving the partition too small? the one recognized as the n810's internal with mydoc's and all that? .. apt-get was putting files in the user folder on there.. and when dpkg -i somefiles it said no space error.. the drive was otherwise totally empty except for some files that had been apt-get, and they weren't taking too much space..
other than that, i had a shitload of apps installed via application manager

It sounds like you may have had an error when installing bootmenu, and were still booting from flash not from SD??
SD bootmenu worked great with 8gig on the latest diablo N810 thx to you pb wiz4rd, after rebooting worked fine
.. until . .
The error happened when installing app's overflow'd the space on a 256mb partition drive i believe.
Yes this could've still been on the internal.. but I thought this was on the external now, and so I could possibly resize it to be bigger for 8gb standards. I need to find my ubuntu cd's so I can try seeing if they're mountable
When I install the bootmenu with pb on my n810 I can enter a timeout value. But upon reboot my bootmenu will not timeout and does not show a timeout counter. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong...?
ok, ive followed all the instuctions, i want to clone the OS to the 2 GB INTERNAL memory so i can have more space for installing apps and have my 8 GB SD free for other stuff. So ive cloned it to the internal memory, after the first clone when it rebooted it started with Bootmenu, so i select boot from INTERNAL MMC, not from INTERNAL FLASH, but i got "Boot from internal failed, booting from flash". What am i doing wrong? Ive partitioned my 2 gb (1.9 gb) in these:
896 for the first FAT partition (I guess this is the space where i can store files from my computer, docs, music etc, but not very usuable since it is less tha a GB)
512 for the Second FAT partition ( I think this is the SWAP partition, as i know this is the space that is used for running a lot of apps ath the same time)
512 for the Linux partition ( i dont know what this is for)
so please, can someone help me understand what am i doing wrogn or simply whats the partitions for? Im only doing this because i want a lot of space so i can install more apps and i want it to be more fast.
