I just tried to install nitdroid with the auto installer and there was an error while formating the sd card.
Now my N900 is not botting up anymore

The Led is just glowing white and the nokia logo is displayed.
What to do now ? :/ I need my phone later

//edit : My phone also stuck at "formatting /dev/mmcblklpl (ext3)..." when installing nitdroid.

uh oh. I've not heard of this happening to people.

You could open the keyboard while booting and try to force it to use Maemo. I think that's 0 during bootmenu.

Unless I've misunderstood what the problem is.

Thats not working either :/
It just hangs on the nokia logo with the white background and shuts down then

Luckily I can still connect iva USB. What command to just reflash the kernel ?

That should get you started. I think. It's been many moons since I've reflashed, so be careful and read up on it before you take my advice.

Edit: I recommend you look through the whole reflashing wiki page. You may also want to wait and see if someone more knowledgeable than me shows up.

It was full before flashing and is not even booting with power adapter.

Noone else can help me ?

//edit : nice

This helped : flasher-3.5 -F <firmware-image> --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Thanks Descalzo for the hint.
