Hi

After about 90 minutes, the install.sh all command completed with request to reboot.
No errors reported.

On power on, it boots into the old Qtmoko.
When I explicitly boot from microSD on the NOR screen,
it flashes an error than uImage.bin not recognised - no kernel image

By deafult the new boot partition is mounted when it boots into the Qtmoko and I get a listing
neo:~# ls -lrt /media/card

Which to me looks pretty healthy.

The paritions on the SD are:
neo:~# fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 2027 MB, 2027945984 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 61888 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xde50b0d4

        Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1               1         245        7832   83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2             246       61888     1972576   83  Linux
And the last one seems to be fully poulated

There is a warning on the http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner not to type "reboot": but use the buttons 
which is what I did, but the manual on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian says the opposite.

How do I get out of this problem and into the debian install.
