Matan, is that binary for arm? Downloading it to the N900, making executable, and running, results in error:
Code:
line 1: syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
(I moved it to sbin and run it from there, in case it makes any difference.)
Also, the instructions say to use "-a 80008000" and "-e 80008000" options. Is this still valid since your uboot in the u-boot-for-power-kernel package is padded to just 0x38000 instead of 0x40000?
Does u-boot change the bootloader section of the NAND memory in N900 any way? (/dev/mtd0)
NoLo bootloader (/dev/mtd0) is not modified in no way.
This is a chainloading method to start u-boot without removing old bootloader.
NoLo loads a fake zImage kernel image which contains u-boot plus a kernel (in uImage format) and runs this image.
So NoLo really starts-up u-boot which then starts-up kernel (already loaded in memory)
Hi!
I have tested meego 1.2 and for this, i also have installed uboot. now i dont want to test meego anymore, but i dont know how i can remove uboot. can anyone help me with this problem without reflashing? as far as i know i dont have power kernel installed, its still the original kernel.
*edit*
if i try it with apt-get remove uboot-pr13 it tells me that its not installed.
with apt-cache search uboot i found 2 entries: uboot-mkimage and uboot-power-46 with the message below it:
to remove this again, "apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power kernel-power-flasher" and reboot. does it mean that i have the power kernel installed? should i try this command? and whats the power kernel? Sorry for my stupid questions
*edit* if i enter the mentioned command, it tells me that after it 10mb of additional space will be used. sounds strange to me. please help!

i found the solution for my problem. it was:
"apt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-flasher"
I've been trying to do this with the power46wl kernel but the device never boots. It shows the little penguin, u-boot times out, the correct kernel is shown, it says linux kernel uncompressed the size and all that but it stays on "loading kernel" forever. I tried both matan's u-boot and one I compiled myself with the instructions here http://elektranox.org/n900/kernel/uboot.html and also the method mentioned in this thread and the builder.py in the link but nothing works. Has anyone made the combined u-boot+power46wl image and can share it?

sorry to bump this but I am trying to build a power46wl with u-boot but I constantly fail. Does anybody have it working and can share it?
