    I think this might cause some problem with the nokia that you are using as N86 come installed with a S60 as operating system and the Linux that you are trying to install on it is also an operating system so this is only possible to install Linux operating system if you can bypass S60 in order to Run Linux on it , Moreover there is no Linux operating system that is built for operating on mobile handheld device , but yes there are a few , But I ain’t sure if that would work for you , you can try using Maemo operating system which is also Linux based.On the other hand you could also try using the Android OS ( AS it uses and works on Linux kernel ) can surely works on your ARM chip .
