So, here you are

This archive has the modules and the kernel to be flashed like a regular kernel to boot SailfishOS directly from mmcblk0p4 (No uboboot required for this now...)
http://www.swagman.org/juice/SFOS_boot_for_p4.tar

Before using, untar the modules under /lib/modules/2.6.32.54 of your sailfish partition.
Then, flash the kernel with "sudo flasher -a firmware.bin -k zImage_2.6.32-54_boot4 --flash-only=kernel -f -R"

Have fun

Hi.
I can't wait to test it!
I think I'll get back home early tomorrow just to try it. Hopefully the only problem left will be to repartition to use the whole 16GB of disk space.
Thank you again and I'll report as soon as I test it.
Regards.

No problem

If you get that working, it's no big deal to now make a kernel that boots SFOS from any partition you'd like, as I have the patched kernel tree done. You can partition your device however you like, for example everything as one partition

Hi.
Unfortunately this didn't work either... I tried with&without RR mode enabled.
I think I'll 'take a look' inside. I'll buy a pair of screwdrivers to see if something is wrong....
I'll keep you informed.

Regards.

Hmm, how did it work, did you see anything on the device when you flashed & booted it?
Did it just hang, or did it reboot?

If you have your SaifishOS FS image correctly extracted to your mmcblk0p4 and if you correctly untarred the kernel modules also there, it sure has to work.

In fact I cannot see how it is possible for it not to work.
If you can boot with ubiboot, then there is absolutely no way why you should not boot with SailfishOS. It just has to work.

Now, I have to believe you have something wrong with your Sailfish installation, there is nothing else that can go wrong now, sorry.

Hi.

All I can say is that it just hungs up. I have to press the power button for 8 seconds to reboot it.
I think I'll start from scratch and also tear it apart ....

Thank you for your patience.

Regards.

Hi.

O.K, I'm back
After giving up for one day, I decided today to try and install nitdroid, following Coderus instructions from almost 2 years ago..... and it worked.
This is allowing me to check that WiFi, audio, tactile screen, charging, etc. are working fine.
I think I'll tinker a bit more with it (I don't like Android , that's why I'm in this forum ) ,and try to install Sailfish again later.
I'll keep you updated of my progress.

Regards.

It's good you managed to install something, at least.
Did you set Nitdroid up with ubiboot or sillyboot?
(why I am asking, is because if you used ubiboot then you should be able to boot Sailfish also with it...)
