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?
