Hello, i would like to boot Debian from SD, on my 1gz Pandora. I've two sd cards in my Pandora, both supposed to be; according to the wiki (and in my experience so far) working well with ext.
I've partitioned a 17 gb space in ext3 for Debian, and a swap file too just in case.
I have downloaded the http://www.stuckiegamez.co.uk/apps/pandora/Debian/pandora-squeeze-1.0.5-grip.tar.bz2 and untared it onto my 17 gb partition on my sdcard, with "tar -xvjpf pandora-squeeze*.tar.bz2 -C".
It should be bootable now correct?
All i get when it attempts to boot is a black screen. I have changed the autoboot.txt, to a boot.txt, and it still does it when i boot from the right shoulder button. I have changed the 'root=' point to the correct partition on the sd, but i still get the exact same, black screen.
I am obviously doing something wrong, but i'm unsure what. Could someone please help me.
(As an additional question, i have a external usb cdrom drive; is it possible to boot installation discs on the pandora with that?)
Thank you.
