still having trouble getting Neo to boot Qtopia from SD

[Ortwin Regel]

I tried pretty much exactly the steps you described but I can't get booting
from SD card to work, neither for Qtopia not for OpenMoko.... I must be
missing something. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD seems to
suggest that you need to use a specially prepared kernel. Is this so? Any
ideas what else could be the problem? Unfortunately the Neo resets so fast
when trying to boot from SD that I can't really read what's going on.
