+ | Guru Meditation 0000025...etc | ||
+ | |||

+ | <pre> | ||
+ | apt-get install nano | ||
+ | nano /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk0p5-2.6.28.NIT.07.item #check filename! | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | And change the line ITEM_DEVICE={INT_CARD}p5 to: | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p5 | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | reboot with opened keyboard and try to start NITDroid. | ||
