the power37 kernel does that, multiboto flashes it > crashes and shuts off > and when you reboot it loads fine

ok .. I formatted the sd card .. I started over!

to the step 5 everything is OK

but now at point 6, when I write "mkdir / and" appears "error, file exsist"

I'm losing hope = (

What can I do?

Steve,
Just did it again a few times. It's not the Power Kernel 37 crashing, also inconsistent. This time it flashes to some boot screen and then back to boot menu though didn't reboot. Nothing I can do will get it to boot.
It's after booting NITDroid that Maemo 5 crashes and boots the second go. I also found this time that when i had the keyboard closed and tried to reboot, expecting to boot straight to Maemo 5, it still opened the boot menu.
I don't know why or how to get the Power Kernel to boot, at all?

If your redoing the tutorial then you'll already have created /and, so just skip that step.

I would assume that you have had some difficulties and already done this step previously? It is simply saying that that folder "/and" already exists, I suggest moving on.

Hi guys,i have tried to install the multiboot but i think i made a mistake,cos it says that the file or directory not found (step 6),so how to i delete everything and start over.

thx

Mate,
To the first question, yes, keep cursors. After comments by Dj Steve a few threads back to me. You can place whatever you like inside those cursors, that is what will display in the boot menu.

Easiest thing I found was to copy and paste all steps into a text file and then save in directory. Open with Leafpad, place cursor on line of code (with keyboard closed) and then highlight and copy (bottom left corner button/ horizontal lines). Then minimise and go back to xterm and select the xterm drop down menu (mid top toolbar, see arrow to right) then select paste, open keyboard and then enter. Repeat for each line and remember to enter each line and enter and not multiple lines at once.

I hope the last helps, I install and make most mods this way as I am usually on my phone. Helps to speed things up and not make errors.

Stephen

Guys,
Totally different question. Using the multiboot and the OS being on a memory card, can we have multiple OS on a couple of SD cards. Swap the cards as desired and boot with the Multiboot menu. The fact that the other OS are missing won't stuff things up will they or effect the multiboot. The Multiboot is loaded on the phones memory, correct?

shouldn effect multiboot it doesn test for presence of oses
