it's kind of useless information to normal users though, those preboot and boot information is only useful to developer or advanced linux users when debugging. Otherwise most users would prefered a nice simple Gui boot. if you can't compile it with gui buffer then is there a way to hack to boot gui screen in the foreground while booting screen behind the page. Similar to preboot stage of Ubuntu or Yellow Dog Linux. I personally like to see a nice and simple loading screen instead lol. I usually disabled that page and replace it with a still image.

Please try your best to make it possible
i really hope it is though.

A simple bar traveling from left to right would be enough IMO, maybe this can be implemented in the new bootmenu as an option? (user customized ones would be even cooler)

I ran into this problem when trying to put nitdroid too. I think the problem was because I wasnt typing in the right stuff. It is a little more time consuming but i would recommending opening a web browser and copying and pasting djsteve instruction step by step.

make sure you have already downloaded "rootfs" from app manager and make sure you follow step's and copy and paste everything exactly like djsteve wrote.


Note: i couldnt download Nano so i downloade Vim instead for text editing.

Edit: sorry i am totally off at what your asking..

I did the same thing you did so, I will tell you my steps to fix it.. I basically partion 6100 as fat and didnt know that the other parts was in ext3 so when i was in mameo os. I was like wtf only 6gb? did i mess it up. I reformated via n900 maemo and went through the steps again and it correctly took out micro card and plug it in and reformated it again and 8gb fat came back.. dont know if there is a easier way

maybe
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,8000,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF
command?

Hope someone can please advice....my N900 is going wonky on me all of a sudden...I just installed NITDRoid latest build the other day...

I'm booted up in Maemo PR1.2 right now...

1) First I noticed that AppMgr is acting weird, then realized that my catalog info is all gone! Re-entered Catalog Info and clicked Save button, but nothing does get saved.

2) So, checked my disk usage an now my rootfs usage is at 100%, was nowhere near that before...

3) Went back to AppMgr to delete some apps, but it won't do Uninstall, as it says there are no apps....

4) Went to Terminal to manually remove packages, but I get error message there too....

E: Couldn't find package 'X'..... ('X' is name of package...)

Any suggestions or is it reflash time once again????

Thanks!

easy fixed, drop to root xterm then do the below

Code:
cd /and
rm -rf *
that'll get your rootfs back

usually means the microsd didn mount right.

ive not had any issues with maemo at all (tho multiboot installs more kernel modules so some extra rootfs usage is expected
