I currently have Qtopia on my microSD, it doesn't work 100% but enough to use it as a backup phone OS. The key is to follow the wikis--- but make sure you format and fill the sd card from a linux box, not from the phone. do everything as root. also, make sure to update your u-boot so that it can handle fat and ext file systems. finally, be very careful in uploading the root filesystem -- -make sure you mount a .jffs2 (follow the wiki) on your linux box and then FROM that you should create a tarball --- -which you THEN and only THEN move over to the rootfs partition of the sd card. Otherwise some important dev nodes get lost in the process.
