I have these problems also, and adding "rw" to append-GTA02 didn't solve it. Full content of my /boot/append-GTA02 is this: "console=tty0 loglevel=8 rootdelay=1 rw" (brainless copy-paste of everything related from Qi wiki page[1]). Problem is, I can't even tell for sure if Neo (Qi actually) boots from uSD or NAND. Hurting my eyes on running on-screen log I saw something like "Waiting for 1sec before rootfs", which suggests that it's Qi taking appeng-GTA02 into consideration. Still I have multiple "read-only filesystem" tar warnings. Every power-up after battery out+in gives Neo several seconds to boot up -- detailed logs on screen -- then it just switches off. Next boots freezes like described by other people in this thread. First "successful" boot freezed on these lines in on-screen log: asoc: WM8753 HiFi <-> s3c24xx-2c mapping ok asoc: WM8753 Voice <-> Bluetooth mappgin ok Only GTA01 hardware supported by ASoc driver Next "successful" boot ended up with previous lines plus this (<...> means long message): mount: special device /dev/mmcblk0p1 does not exist ALSA: <...> <...> load_state:1327: No soundcard found... usb0: link is not ready done. And it freezed again. uSD card must be good, because I can read-write it through notebook card reader and if I go to NAND menu and modify boot command line to load from uSD, it works just fine. Behaviour is unstable: I could boot (from NAND!) *once* while trying to boot from uSD/Qi , and it's the same with 2008.12 release as well as with 04.01.2009 testing. I also boot with SIM card inserted so weak uSD reader contacts shouldn't be an issue. Should I return to u-boot technique for starting up Neo? I wanted to give Qi a try for it is a "modern" way of doing things.
