Hi Ian,<br><br>I have to admit I have not had time to out this on my SD card yet but I have booted it from the neo normally.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 27/09/2007, <b class="gmail_sendername">ian douglas</b> <

Looks like your problem is that you do not need the developer rootfs or the toolchain to boot into qtopia from the sd card.<br>
<br>
Inside /path/to/qtopia/qtopia-4.3.0-preview-neo-flash.tgz as you noted
is the rootfs and the uImage. These are the only two you need. uImage
in /boot/ and rootfs in /<br><br>If I have time tonight I will confirm this for you. always too busy with work...<br><br>-Pete<br></div></div><br>
