N900 Install
Mer Image
The latest release as of this post is 0.17testing4.
# you need an ext3 formated MicroSD card. mount -o noatime /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1/ # go hence cd /media/mmc1/ wget http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.17testing4/mer-armel-generic-image-v0.17testing4.tar.gz # Untar it verbally to see the majick. # Note this will create dirs like ./usr and ./lib etc, so you don't want stuff pre-existing in those dirs. tar zxvf mer-armel-generic-image-v0.17testing4.tar.gz # sync and live free! sync
bootmenu
You need to have getbootstate version 1.0.35+0m5 or greater for this to work.
dpkg -l getbootstate
(As a side note, getbootstate is close software. Please vote for this bug and/or clamour for it to be released as free software.)
# Grab this package: wget http://www.daimi.au.dk/~cvm/bootmenu_1.6_armel.deb # Be root sudo gainroot # Install bootmenu dpkg -i bootmenu_1.6_armel.deb
Then tappy tap tap the bootmenu install icon and answer yes.
Now you need to set up Mer in the menu for bootmenu. See also: Mer bootmenu docs.
I put everything on the first and only partition on an ext3 formatted "external" MicroSD card (the one that's right next to the camera).
# edit/create this file to create a boot menu item for Mer:
vim /etc/bootmenu.d/mer.ext.item
# Make it look justa lika thisa:
# will be shown in the bootmenu
ITEM_NAME="Mer on external card, p1"
# needs to be an unique string to identify this item
ITEM_ID="mer"
# which hardware device and partition should be booted.
# use ${EXT_CARD} for the external card (slot) or ${INT_CARD} for the internal mmc
# followed by p3 for partition three
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1"
# which modules to load at boottime
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
# filesystem used on that partition
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
# mounting options
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro"
# Use the Mer linuxrc to continue to Boot (IMPORTANT for Mer)
ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"
(Note: why jbd module needed?)
