what file systesm did you use on these partitions and how did you proceed
exactly when installing?

Hi,
I have used vfat for first partition and ext3 for the second
partition.
This is the procedure i have followed for installing qtopia on sdcard.
My Host PC has FC 9.
1) connected to Neo freerunner by SSH
2) Partitioned SD card :
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
created a 8 mb partition for kernel and another one for the rootfs
which took up
all the remaining space
Command (m for help): d
Selected partition 1
Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder (1-983, default 1):
Using default value 1
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-983, default 983): +8M
Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 2
First cylinder (18-983, default 18):
Using default value 18
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (18-983, default 983):
Using default value 983
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
fdisk: WARNING: rereading partition table failed, kernel still uses old table: Device or resource busy
3) Got an fdisk warning so umounted :
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
redone the step2 again.No error second time.
4)Formatted the SDcard :
for first partition.
a) mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
for second partition.
b)mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2
5)Mounted the sdcard:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card
mkdir /media/card/boot
mkdir /media/mmcblk0p2
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/mmcblk0p2
6)unpacked qtopia:
got this two files :
1.
uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin
2. qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.jffs2
7)Mounted the rootfs on loopback device:
export loop=$(losetup -f)
losetup $loop <rootfs.jffs2>
modprobe block2mtd block2mtd=$loop,131072
modprobe jffs2
modprobe mtdblock
mkdir mntpnt
mount -t jffs2 -o ro /dev/mtdblock0 mntpnt
8)created compressed tarball.
tar czf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz -c mntpnt
9)Transfer this compressed tarball to the second partition of the
MicroSD that is mounted
on the FreeRunner:
scp qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/mmcblk0p2/
10)Unpack the rootfilesystem:
cd /media/mmcblk0p2
tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz rm
qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz
rm -f /media/mmcblk0p2/boot/*
11) Installed kernel.
mv
uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin
uImage.bin
scp uImage.bin [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/card/boot/
scp uImage.bin [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/card/
12)shutdown and boot in qtopia.
Booted from Sdcard
Now when kernel is booting .It's giving kernel panic.
