FIREFIREFIRE with dualboot/multiboot support

---

Hoping someone from the dev thread
reads this. Only reason I can't post there is I am "new".

I'm running into an issue booting using the alternate boot option.
My primary boot is Stock rooted 6.3
My alternate is Pure AOKP ICS with Hashcode 3.0 Kerne

This is my partition table.

~ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
Model: MMC MMC08G (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 7818MB

16      7690MB  7818MB  128MB   ext4         cache2

This is from my init.omap4430.rc file

on fs
    log "==  init.omap4430.rc: on fs ------------------------"
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system wait ro
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /data wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=continue
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=continue
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /dropbox wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=continue

And this is my update-script

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system2", "0");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system2", "/system");
......
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/boot2");

The install works fine, and everything seems to go to its correct place. But when I select the alternate boot option it sits indefinitely on the selection screen.

What recovery are you using? Many people are reporting that ClockworkMod seems to have trouble with ROMs using the 3.0 kernel, making them unbootable even on a stock boot layout. TWRP doesn't have issues with it, so I would try that if you're currently using CWM.

If that's not the issue, then try using the "/dev/block/mmcblk0p#" style to specify the partitions in the updater-script. I had some difficulty getting it to play nicely with the "by-name" style for whatever reason, especially with the boot images (I'm not really sure why, though).

I'm used TWRP 2.0 and 2.1, neither "worked".
The rom installed, that doesn't seem to be the issue, unless I am completely off base.
I was unable to install gapps because moding its install script to goto the mmcblk0p14 caused it to fail, I think it was because it was signed, and I modded it making the md5 invalid. I need to work on that, but that shouldn't cause an issue with booting.
The only thing I can think of is that your boot2 is on p16 while mine is on p13?? would that be the issue?

Changed to

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/system");
.......
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p13");

and

on fs
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system wait ro
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /data wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=continue
#    mount ext4 /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/cache /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=contin$
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /dropbox wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=continue

This time I am trying to put the 6.3 rooted version on the alternate.
The install occurs with no issue. It just gets stuck at the Alternate Boot menu.
I'm using 0.1, not sure if there is another version of the loader.
