1) typo
2) did not umount SD
3) root?
4) reboot and start fresh on xterm/root

There are 2 posts, with different approach, successfully installed nitdroid on internal flash, reportedly running "10 X" faster, details here , looks like booting into nitdroid using internal flash is eminent . I have not tried it.... yet. read the article at your own risk

I tried again got the same respond
maybe I can create this partition on the mem card with a PC and just use the autoinstaller?

I wouldn't say 10x faster, but definitely faster (8GB class 6 @ 805Mhz vs Internal @ 700Mhz).

I'm all set with a separate partition on the internal memory for nitdroid (or perhaps MeeGo at some point). Should be easy to reinstall, just format the partition, and untar a new filesystem. Currently have 2 nitdroid boot options, sd or internal, both work. As long as you are familiar with flashing, and linux (I used Ubuntu and gparted), it wasn't too bad to set up.

I did the following;

sudo gainroot

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,<6100MB>,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF

and at the end
got this;

sfdisk: bad input

How should I proceed? the Autoinstaller gets stuck also..

Can you read/write to your SD card under maemo? Maybe your card is damaged and becomes read only. Situation like that, I would
1) reformat under window into FAT32 and tried again,
2) or panasonic low level formatter (google download and install under window, then low level format your SD, that should work)

Your input is wrong, there should be nothng in front of 6100, i.e.

it should be

,6100,C

try that, it will work

That step I was able to pass with your suggestion! thank you!!!.. but now I type;

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk1p1
mke2fs -L NITDroid -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk1p2

and I get The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?

what am I doing wrong here?
