What's wrong? You forgot to tell Qi not to boot from the SD partitions. See: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qi#Files According to the readme[1] on the qi-bootmenu site, it is not necessary to mark the SD paryitions as not bootable: The patches which are applied are thus not strictly necessary but they have a few advantages over vanilla Qi. - You won't have to mark your SD-card partition as not bootable via noboot-$MACHINE files I found out that I could get the boot menu to show up if I did the AUX press move, but IMHO, that defeats the puprpose of the boot loader. I want it to show up automatically, each time I boot my FR.

I am now able to generate a kernel+initramfs which fits into the 2M GTA01 NAND kernel partition. However the touchscreen doesn't yet work, it might be a calibration issue or my kernel config is incomplete or I broke something while rebasing the kernel to 2.6.32. Anyway this needs more time to investigate...

I have only 1 partition on my card (so the menu is useless atm for me but i am willing to test) and on some occasions the partition was not recognized, meaning i ended up only with Power off button. Also, i tried logging in via ssh but couldn't run fsck as it claimed (sorry, no proper log saved) fsck.auto not found. Also, on fsck -t ext2 it reported couldn't read mtab. hope this helps, kind regards Petr ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
