I guess what happens is that Qtopia starts scanning all the files on the SD card. It is designed to be run from internal flash with your MP3s on the SD card, so it scans all the files there and makes a database of them. With a Debian system on SD, this probably takes hours, and during that Qtopia probably refuses to suspend. You can turn this feature off in a file called Storage.conf lying around somewhere, IIRC.
