Hi,<br><br>I'm the one who started the section "Booting from SDHC" in this wiki entry.<br>Actually this title is wrong (what is my "fault", even it was intended) , as the kernel is booted from NAND and loading the rootfs isn't booting because it's done by the kernel.<br>
As I didn't manage to do a real boot from SDHC I'd be surprised if you managed it - and it even isn't described in the wiki entry - so my guess is that you are referring to "my" method.<br>If I'm wrong please tell me and add it to the wiki, if not I just wanted to point out that this problem still exists and there is still no SDHC-support in u-boot.<br>

I have a SanDisk 6GB SDHC Class4 that I have been able to boot from for a very long time, at least since some u-boot-1.3.0'ish.<br>
<br>
The info on:<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD" target="_blank">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD</a><br>
<br></div>
was actually rather helpful.<br>
<br>
What I miss, in this regard, is:<br>
<br>
1.The possibility to fix the kernel that I boot from, to a partition on the flash-card.<br>
2.The possibility to not have /etc/fstab overwritten at every reboot, so that I can edit it and have it stay the way I want.<br>
3. Points 1. and 2. are in order to be able to have fully independent installations, to be able to boot up like with LILO on a desktop Linux installation.<br>
<br>
And if u-boot had USB support implemented so that I could upload an image from my desktop Linux straight to the flash-card without having to boot the Neo all the way to a Linux system, that would be really helpful, too.<br>

It still doesn't recognize my Kinston 4GB card, which non of the previous versions<br>
did either, while the linux kernel does.<br>

According to <a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD" target="_blank">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD</a> that seems to be a known issue (4G and up are "SDHC" rather than "SD") but I don't see an entry for it in Bugzilla. It might be worth filing one, including the output of the u-boot "mmcinit" command for your card.<br>
