Booting from memorycard

[Guest theguv]

Heya,

I've been trying to get ubuntu to boot from the memorycard. I've created a rootfs and managed to use it within a chroot environment. I have not succeeded in booting to it yet though. I've tried following the steps here: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/TEGRA2/Notes . My original (stock) dmesg says "Kernel command line: mem=383M@0M nvmem=128M@384M loglevel=0 muic_state=1 lpj=9994240 CRC=30200011bf03420 vmalloc=256M brdrev=1.0 uniqueid=2804083441fa097 video=tegrafb console=ttyS0,115200n8 usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 tegraboot=sdmmc tegrapart=recovery:35e00:2800:800,linux:34700:1000:800,mbr:400:200:800,system:60

:2bc00:800,cache:2c200:8000:800,misc:34200:400:800,userdata:38700:c0000:800" which is not exactly the same as his tablet, but similar.

Now, I've tried changing the boot args to "root=/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 rootdelay=25 rw mem=383M@0M nvmem=128M@384M vmalloc=256M init=/sbin/init video=tegrafb console=ttyS0,115200n8 usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 tegrapart=recovery:35e00:2800:800,linux:34700:1000:800,mbr:400:200:800,system:60

:2bc00:800,cache:2c200:8000:800,misc:34200:400:800,userdata:38700:c0000:800" where /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 would be the second partition on the memorycard containing the ubuntu rootfs. In addition to that I have removed the "init" executable from the ramdisk to make sure the kernel doesn't initialize android (like the link above says).

This leaves me in a bootloop though.

Has anyone else had any success in getting something else than android to boot? (ubuntu/meego/other linux?)

thanks

Any more progress on this? Also how did you set up the chroot as I tried this with little success
