Qi - how do I make it boot from another partition on the SD card?
Hi, I use Qi as the bootloader on my FreeRunner. I have sevaral partitions on my SDcard: p1 - vfat data partition (only data, nothing else) p2 - ext3 primary partition, this is my main os. Currently holds QtMoko v8) p3 - this is aother ext3 primary partition, for me to keep a backup os on. Currently, it holds a copy of QtMoko v8. p4 - swap, 128Megs First I thought that the press AUX trick from the Qi wiki page would let me select which partition to boot from, but it seems like it only selects kernel, so not useful for me in this situation. Then I read about the /boot/noboot-GTA02 file, so I did 'touch /boot/noboot-GTA02' (when /dev/mmcblk0p2 was my root partition). Now Qi skips the p2 partition, but after that it justs sits therr, it won't boot the p3 partition. What can be wrong? And how do I fix it?

Hello Brolin, Wow. That's quite a bit of information.

For example, try sitting still and just paying attention to the sensations in your body, such as your breath going in and out, without thinking, without judging.

Hi! Thanks for PISI! On Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:55:53 +0400, Michael Pilgermann kichka...@gmx.de wrote: This got fixed. Will be in the next release.
