First achievement after downloading gena2x' u-boot to the FR: Qi is gone. After that, I downloaded Qi again, resulting in a booting SHR from uSD. For now I'll focus my attention on the kernel partition; the boot loader seems OK. I downloaded one of the last SHR-kernels (2.6.39-xx16...), to see if anything happened. That's not the case: upon booting I still get SHR from uSD, not QtMoko with a SHR kernel and a crash after half a minute. Lacking a crash, a boot log or anything except a running SHR, I turned back to u-boot, and continued following gena2x' excellent howto. Lacking a running environment to copy the Qi-settings from, I started off with his sample config. Now I got somewhere: using the "boot jffs from NAND" option crashed the UBI- kernel (once again, I realize there's UBI to be had here anyway ;-) ) Just before the crash (unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) ), it listed the list of all partitions, with addresses (and driver? behind every item). With some luck, those are all jffs-driver on UBI-fs errors. Choosing the NAND/ubi-zlib boot option, there were some warnings, I guess relating to running SHRs kernel on QtMoko. Anyway, QtMoko booted! Gennady, thank you! :-) Boudewijn
