Hi Alexandros, Well, it seems good, the freerunner regonizes the card and loads the kernel. The kernel panic is as expected, there is just a kernel on the card and no distro yet. Could you try to install the root files system from [2] ? After you installed it make sure to install the kernel in /boot as uImage-GTA02.bin and add the /boot/append-GTA02. (you could make a tar file before installing the rootfs) in cut and paste style: mkdir /tmp/mpt mount /dev/sde1 /tmp/mpt cd /tmp/mpt tar -czf /tmp/old_boot.tgz ./boot tar -xzvpf /the/downloaded/qtmoko-debian-v31.tar.gz tar -xzvpf /tmp/old_boot.tgz cd / umount /tmp/mpt eject /dev/sde put the card in the freerunner and boot using qi That should give you a working distro. Please let us know any success/failure!
