I just reflashed my N900, according to messages in terminal, it appeared to have gone well.....
However, after reflashing, I still can't boot up completely.....so, after discovering the thread about 'rescueOS', I thought I'd give it a try to see if it would allow me to boot up completely....unfortunately, I have not been able to get rescueOS to work right...so, back to 'square one' as we say....
Should I try re-flashing maemo again?
Do you think I need to re-flash the emmc too?
Thanks!

considering the fact that your N900 doesn't boot up anymore, this may not matter, alas.
that's where it would be handy to have a +real+ backup / restore tool (i.e. partimage) that would allow you to start Rescue OS, indeed, and either use earlier images (both of / and /opt) of your own functioning device or, at default, from any other working N900

Agree that it would be nice if there was better way to deal with this...
