I got an N900 and want to install Mer/Nemo onto it. I'm following the instructions for installing Mer/Nemo on N900 in the wiki: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo/Installing#Nokia_N900
Are those instructions still up-to-date? My N900 has Maemo5 Version 21.2011.38-1 installed. The 'Installing' wiki page mentions the uboot-p13 app, which I cannot find in the repositories. > For U-boot there are 2 options: > 1.) If you use the Nokia Linux Kernel on your N900, install U-Boot > through the Hildon Application Manager. Enable the extras-devel > repository. In the Hildon Application Manager, install the U-Boot > package, found in "System" category. (The package is 'uboot-pr13' > at the time of writing). > > 2.) !WARNING! In case you use the power kernel for Maemo, the U-Boot > package found in Extras-devel will replace it with Nokia kernel! If you > want to install U-Boot alongside kernel-power, you need to use a > different version of U-Boot written by Pali Rohar, it's found here: > U-Boot by Pali . This will still replace your power kernel, > but you can boot it from a bootimage. For detailed instructions, see > the power kernel thread on talk.maemo.org What is the difference between the Nokia Linux Kernel and the power kernel for Maemo? And the only bootmenu app I found is the BootMenu by Pali Rohar. Does that work with Mer as well? I've written the latest N900 image to an SD card, but booting fails with BootMenu. The image I'm using is: nemo-handset-armv7hl-n900-0.20121101.1.NEMO.2012-11-08.1-mmcblk0p.raw.bz2 If I manage to get Mer/Nemo running on the N900, I'll update the Wiki page accordingly (in case there's outdated content). Thanks, Raju
