But the main problem is that you can't (as a user) easily multiboot between one image in NAND and sevaral images on SD card. Let's see: - Qi is missing the so-called "multiboot partition" that was proposed to fix this. There has been a few attempts to create a write up that explains how to set up all this, but AFAIk, today there isn't a complete ow-to anywhere. In my eyes, this makes qi incomplete. - uboot has problem with bigger kernels, and besides you still have to configure it by hand for each partition you want to boot (whoever thought that up? an ex-grub developer? Why can't uboot figure out this on its own? Why does it nedd the help of a human for such a simple task?) - you have already mentioned the forked Qi that Android needs. Have I forgotten anything? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
