Is it possible to prepare a SD-card for GTA-04 with multiple OS'es
installed? (QtMoko and SHR in my case.)
I tried and did not succeed. I followed (in chronological order)
[1](sd-card), [2](QtMoko) and [3](SHR) with result [4]
Different from [2] is that partition 4 is formatted as ext3 (instead of
SWAP). This is the partition where I put SHR.
As I understand from [3] SHR does not mandate specific partitions to be
installed on.
I tried QtMoko on partition 2 and SHR on p4. I never got SHR to boot.
(QtMoko did boot.)
I tried SHR on partition 2 and another SHR on p4. I never got SHR to
boot from p4.
(SHR from p2 booted although I selected p4 during boot!)
Any ideas?
Should the partition with /boot reside below 2GB?
Is it mandatory to put QtMoko/rootfs on partition 2?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
André
(As I'm writing this email I see the number heads is 246 instead of the
255 as in mentioned in [1]. I will give it another try.)
