An experimental system that at leasts risks a noticeable degree of unnecessary frustration in extricating one's self from it is probably a bad idea--agreed.  I tried u-boot once, had some problems recovering ( I got better) and haven't touched it again.  If it led to some really optimized stable system with options for reasonable upgrades, I'd be more interested.  
As is, I agree- if it isn't necessary (and from here it looks like it isn't) maybe it should be dropped?  Importing altboot might be nice, though.

Many thanks! Will go try it on 860 after setting up OpenBSD on 3200.

After extracting the debian eabi system subdirs (without the root armel dir) to an SD, I installed the new zImage.bin (zImage-2.6.20-c7x0-sdboot.bin) together with updater.sh with this SD.
Reboot and got this after setting the system clock:
Code: [Select]
VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)Tried on both FAT and ext3 formatted cards. Same result.
Thanks.

When you formatted the SD card as ext3, did you make a partition first?  I.e. does /dev/mmcblk0p1 exist (in pdaXrom for example), or only /dev/mmcblk0?  And what does fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 say when you select "p" to print the partition table?  On my SD card it has one partition, Id = 83, System = Linux.

Just took a short break and had a look at my 860 again for a few minutes.  
This time i reflashed the sdboot zImage (20070429) and the updater.sh (20070422) from CF, and left the debian system with the extracted modules-2.6.20.6-c7x0.tgz (20070429) on SD. Reboot. Both SD and CF were mounted, and I got this:
Code: [Select]
VFS: Mounted root (vfat filesystem) readonly.
Freeing init memory: 80k
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.But there is init under /sbin in the debian rootfs on SD.
So what now?

The first clue is 'vfat', that's unsuited for a linux system. You (also) lack a /dev/console node, which is probably caused by vfat not being able to represent devnodes.

Thanks. There is a /dev/console in the extracted system. Will make a ext3 card and try again later.

2. Problem with 4G SD. Suspend/resume destroy FS. It's happen only with SD>2G
any fixes on this? does this only happen on a 4g partition or all 4g cards?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=160068\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Only on second part of 4G SD.
First 2G partition works correct.
"mkfs.ext3 -j" hang on second 2G partition.
If I create it on cardreader it also destroy fs after some times or hang PDA.

Are you using firefox/iceweasel with your debian?

If so, did you build it yourself? I can't find armel firefox package anywhere. I've built firefox for Angstrom in OE, but it segfaults...

Doesn't firefox from debian-arm work ?

Can anyone put a rootfs with X included online somewhere or send it through dropload or alike ?

Thanks a million.

I also tried Angrstorm's firefox with the same result.
Building firefox from sources failed: shlibsign segfault.
It is also problem for me. I use dillo while havn't firefox.
