Hello,
Aside from the tradition of 2 partitions due to the old uboot needing the
kernel in a fat partition, Is there a benefit to keeping the kernel on a
separate partition?
Back story:
I've been using Qt Extended 4.4.1 successfully on a single ext2 partition. I
tried installing Debian on a separate microsd card, and it defaulted to a setup
of 2 ext2 partitions, one for the kernel and one for everything else.
Of course my boot menu wasn't setup for 2 ext2 partitions, so it didn't work
until i changed the card to a single ext2 partition. It still hasn't worked
due to a e2fsk issue( i made a tar.gz of everything on the 2nd partition and a
copy of the uImage.bin and put it on the card after repartitioning as a single
ext2 partition ). I haven't yet tried adding another boot menu option for a 2
ext2 partition setup, which might be the easiest solution.
