Re: still having trouble getting Neo to boot Qtopia from SD
Because I couldn't get booting from SD to work with either Qtopia or OpenMoko, I tried the other option ( http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia_on_Neo_1973#Qtopia_AND_OpenMoko_Option_1). It doesn't work, either. The gui vanishes and the last few lines (after lots of lines related to pressing buttons/touching the screen) are: FreeFontPath: FPE built-ins refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. PM: Removing info for No Bus:vcs3 PM: Removing info for No Bus:vcsa3 xinit: unexpected signal 15. PM: Removing info for No Bus:vcs2 PM: Removing info for No Bus:vcsa2 I've got no idea what any of this means. o.o Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Ian, I have to admit I have not had time to out this on my SD card yet but I have booted it from the neo normally.

still having trouble getting Neo to boot Qtopia from SD
So to recap what I've tried, that doesn't work to get Qtopia on my SD card and boot from SD: I went to http://www.qtopia.net/modules/devices/openmoko.php and downloaded the three files under Qtopia for the Neo1973 Downloads, and unpacked them onto a 2GB microSD card, formatted as ext3: # mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdcard # tar -C /media/sdcard -zxvf \ /path/to/qtopia/ficgta01-qtopia-developer-rootfs.tgz # tar -C /media/sdcard -zxvf \ /path/to/qtopia/arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz # tar -C /media/sdcard/boot/ -xzvf \ /path/to/qtopia/qtopia-4.3.0-preview-neo-flash.tgz ... the last step of course placed the uImage file and the rootfs file into the SD card's /boot/ folder (there's no documentation anywhere that describes where else to place these, so I was guessing as I went) # cd /media/sdcard/boot # ln -s uImage-2.6.21.6-moko11-r2-fic-gta01.bin uImage This, of course symlinks the uImage file since the uboot menu only needs a file called uImage Then I ejected the SD card from my Linux box, put the SD card into my Neo, powered up to the uboot menu, selected 'Boot from SD', and I get the kernel panic I posted earlier. (relisted below) So obviously having uImage-2.6.21.6-moko11-r2-fic-gta01.bin and qtopia-rootfs.2-09180703.jffs2 in the /boot/ folder isn't right, so I put the SD card back into my Linux box and moved the files up a level so they would be in the 'root' folder of the file system: # mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdcard # cd /media/sdcard/boot # mv uImage-2.6.21.6-moko11-r2-fic-gta01.bin ../ # mv qtopia-rootfs.2-09180703.jffs2 ../ # rm uImage # ln -s ../uImage-2.6.21.6-moko11-r2-fic-gta01.bin uImage # sync ; cd ; eject /dev/sdc1 That didn't work either... same kernel panic: (last 5 lines included here) Waiting 5sec before mounting root device... Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up. NFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy. NFS: Cannot open root device mmcblk0p1 or unknown-block(0,2) Please append a correct root= boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,2) So Piotr, could you maybe please post your bash_history for us to see what exactly you did, to get this going? I'd be happy to edit the wiki page for Qtopia on the Neo for booting from SD if I can just get this going -- but experimentation is just frustrating when others obviously have already tried Qtopia on the Neo.
