Hi, If someone has Qtopia (or any other distro, for that matter) booting from microSD, I'd appreciate very step-by-step instructions, because it is not working for me and I have poured over the wiki's various pages related to this. Here's what I've done:
1. Partitioned my 8GB microSD card thus: partition1: FAT32 partition2: ext2 partition3: ext2 partition4: ext2 each partition is roughly 2GB. 2. partition2 is where I want to put Qtopia. After formatting it ext2 and mounting the partition, I did: wget http://qtopia.net/downloads/neo/qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-07221045.tgz tar zvxf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-07221045.tgz mv uImage*.bin uImage.bin I changed the kernel name based on something I read stating it had to be called uImage.bin (is that wrong?) 3. I upgraded my NAND U-boot to a post-July 23 version. I think I have the August 5 version now. 4. I edited by NAND U-boot menu to include: setenv menu_9 Boot from microSD part2 (ext2+ext2): setenv bootargs \${bootargs_base} rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5 \${mtdparts} ro\; mmcinit\; ext2load mmc 1 0x32000000 \${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x32000000 5. I try to boot from that new NAND U-boot option and while the error page goes away so fast I cannot really read it, by doing it dozens of times, I think it cannot even mount the ext2 partition, and thus cannot find a kernel image. I get shot back to the U-boot menu right away. Thanks for any help. If I figure all this out, there is going to be a single crystal clear wiki page on this when I get done.
