(See the instalation guide at: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner )

The Debian install uses the uSD card as root fs

Thanx, as I see you installed the debian on the device and not on uSD?
(as these are jjfs2 images).

Thanks for the links, I am already subscribed to those two mailing lists (among others)…
I really need to cut back on my caffeine intake and mailing list subscriptions ;o)

“FSO-MS5.1-gta02″
openmoko-fso-illume-image-glibc-ipk–20090202-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2
uImage-2.6.28-oe1+gitr34240a1c06ae36180dee695aa25bbae869b2aa26-r3-om-gta02.bin

At least I have those in a folder on my desktop, and I am sure that it was a grapical FSO.

BTW what image you use as ‘base’ (any link?) to install debian?
I tried to use some FSO console-images (on sd) but they fail to boot (they just display a kernel panic).
I also managed to boot with the FSO-console (4.1 iirc) but there is no way to logon to the freerunner in order to install the debian….

thx
