A newer U-Boot with the 4 GB patch is now available in the unstable directory: http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/unstable/NeoFreerunner/u-boot-gta02v5-1.3.1+gitrb20cc520a22715fe7ff069b36b7dfdbb925a8e5a-r1.bin FWIW, even with the above patch, I'm having no success getting U-Boot to read a kernel from a 1 GB partition starting at 6 GB. I'm trying to debug it, though. using qi now, but not tried to boot debian yet. cheers rask The second problem was that U-Boot can't read ext2 filesystems revision 1 where inodes might not be 128 bytes. In my case they are 256 bytes, so the inode position is miscalculated.

Re: [debian] problems with debian and u-boot
'configure-uboot' script from the debian wiki while the phone was booted to NAND flash (press and hold power, then immediately press and hold aux), then powered down the phone i might be wrong, but i don't think you can modify the nand when being in nand. boot in nor mode instead. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
