Having spend a day and some trying to boot qtmoko or shr trying different combinations (bootloader+ distributions + partition scheme ) from two micro sd card i own, without any success , and since the cards are accesible from linux kernel i'd like to pledge for help in that issue. I admit i havent play more with uboot enviroment and uboot prompt but i've tries the rootdelay option.
Some questions: 1)For example why there is need each dist to have its customized bootloader file? Doesnt that imply that there is no general bootloader working like in desktop pcs? 2)Why generally speaking its so difficult to boot from a sdcard? Is the microsd interface closed and thus a libre drivers has holes? Is it a card's fault ? (in what way , shouldnt they comply with a standard? ). Is it glamo hardware thing? Is the glamo mmc driver 's fault ? All the above in different combinations? Some reports (the kernel? or the bootloader? stops and i get messages like below) qi booting shr ------------ SoftDog: cannot register miscdev on minor=130 (err=-16) EXT2-fs (mmcblk0p1): error: ext2_lookup: deleted inode referenced : 267697 Kernel panic - not syncing : No init found.
