Dual boot on archos g9 hdd version

Thu Nov 01, 2012 4:14 am

Hi,
I have successfully installed plasma active ( Stable Image - without hardware acceleration ) on my "/data" partition which has only 1.5 Gb space following the instructions on this page -> http://share.basyskom.com/plasma-active ... _gen9.html

It worked well for while but later it started lagging and I was never able to play music or videos then when I try to open any application it shows the loading animation at the bottom but it won't start.
so I went to terminal and I typed this command : df -h
and I found the "/data" partition had 100% usage and no free space .

So, regadless the above details is it possible to install Plasma Active on the hard disk - which is 250Gb in my case - using the instructions at the end of this page

Setup a Android™ and Plasma Active dual Boot System

Preparations:
Mirco SD card (minimal 2 gigabyte) and a card reader working on your Linux Host system.
Download the related kernel: zImage - without hardware acceleration or zImage - with hardware acceleration, but less stable

Please note, those zImages contain a different kernel default bootcmd. The root filesystem of this zImage will be expected on a micro SD Card pluged into the reader of your tablet.

Now you have to prepare the mirco SD Card by creating a single primary partition with 'ext4' filesystem. You should use the tools 'fdisk' and 'mkfs.ext4' as root on a Linux host system for this purpose.

Please follow the discribed steps in previous 'Create a new filesystem on the data partition' section by using the micro SD Card partition instead the discribed ARCHOS device

Finally you have to follow previous 'Put the image on the device and create an empty initrd' section with the downloaded and into 'zImage' renamed 'zImage-for-< type >-rootfs-on-external-micro-SD' file.

Please note, do not delete the Android kernel.

regards,
Mostafa
