TBH I prefer u-boot, mainly because I know how to customise it and tri-boot with ease :) But thank you for the tips, I can use them next time I feel up to Qi! I think Qi will be great once I've decided on a specific distro and I don't have the requirement of needing to select a different one on a regular basis. The boot speed is negligible when you have to keep removing the battery due to the wrong kernel loading :) Sarton ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Well when you do, remove your SD card first. I'm almost positive you would have at least been able to boot otherwise. When you have it booting with no SD card, then try adding the card etc. From what you have said, it sounds like Qi is having issues probing the SD card and isn't moving on to the flashed kernel. This is one reason I don't use Qi. I can't quite get the timing right for skipping partitions and nearly always forget to even try.

I can't quite get the timing right for skipping partitions and nearly always forget to even try. I use the NOR (AUX + Power) boot to boot the NAND and Qi to boot the SD card. Useful workaround for people that can't get the timing right ;) Actually, that's what I do presently :) The only problem I see with that is, any u-boot facilities that have been added since are gone. How this effects operation I'm unsure. I'm yet to have any real issues with using it this way. I think power management and other tweaks may be effected but it has yet to cause me any dramas ...

Re: (Qi) Qi or bust?
qi: qi-s3c2442-... kernel: uImage-2.6.28... image:fso-paroli-image-om-gta02.jffs2 Boot into NOR and connect USB. Then run these commands: Sander was so kind to provide this information, and at first it looked that this was actually working. I put qi and the android-files on the FR. After booting I saw a few messages from Android that something was not right. I thought that was because the SD-card is not set up the way it should be, so I then flashed: qi-s3c2442-master-hist_1665e43677c005a8.udfu uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin (as uImage.bin) shr-lite-image-om-gta02.jffs2 Now, after a hard reboot (battery removed), I see: RCU detected CPU 0 stall then a lot of errors, ending with an ECC error A kernel panic that tries to kill init and then it keeps telling me about CPU 0 stall, until I take out the battery again.

What do I do wrong here? I downloaded the files Sander suggested. I fed them to my flash-script.

But when I reboot (or pull the battery and stick that in again), all I see are the errors I already described. The CPU 0 stall, the EEC errors, and so on. I really feel that Qi was not a good idea. At least, with u-boot as it was, I had a reasonably good phone using SHR. I also have the uneasy feeling that there is no undo from Qi, or am I wrong?

(Qi) Qi or bust?
I flashed Qi on my Freerunner. I used qi-s3c2442-master-hist_1665e43677c005a8.udfu and the command dfu-util -a u-boot -R -D qi-s3c2442-master-hist_1665e43677c005a8.udfu as I found on the wiki. Now when I boot the FR, I keep seeing a set of errors that keep repeating. Most of them state that Magic not found ??? (too small and too fast to read properly). Help? Or something?

Hi Paul, Paul wrote (ao): Okay. I give up. How does one put Qi on a FR and make it do something other than spout errors? Go to http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/unstable/NeoFreerunner/ Or your favourite image repository. Download: qi: qi-s3c2442-... kernel: uImage-2.6.28... image: fso-paroli-image-om-gta02.jffs2 Boot into NOR and connect USB.
