Runing Android OS on SD Card
You've basically got a lot of mistakes in the ini file. You need to decide how you're going to boot it, if it's from an img file, then you need to make sure that it's an ext3 image. Or you can run it form an ext3 partition on the sd, you would need to copy the contents of an image file onto an ext3 partition on your SD card (make a 2nd partition). If you are using an image file to boot from then you will need to add: Android-Rootfs-RunImage = Android/2.3.1/name_of_your_ext3.img You also need to make sure that the kernel and superboot are from the same DVD, make sure that you have 'fused' the SD card with the same superboot and copy it to the /images/ folder on the fat partition of your SD card. Lastly you need to make changes to the Android-CommandLine, if you're running from the 2nd partition I think you have to change the root= bit to: Android-CommandLine = root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 console=ttySAC0,115200 init=/linuxrc androidboot.console=s3c2410_serial0
Thank you for reply ! I changed file .ini , but i can't run android on the sdcard . I need run OS on SDcard , NO copy file kernel and file .img in nandflash because i extern driver and build kernel faster in board mini 210. can you help me !
it seems that Androids above 2.2 not work on low RAM boards smoothly(i examine this on a device with 128MB of memory). and therefore we cant run android 2.3 from SD card

Hi, Reggie ! I made change file .ini seem you command but I can't run android 2.3.1 on sdcard . You can repeat solution defferent . Thank you for reply !
You either have to make an ext3 partition on the sd card and unpack the contents of the .img file onto the ext3 partition or you make sure you are using an ext3 image file and put the name in Android-RootFs-RunImage.
Stop being an idiot and trying to bump your post up with nonsense messages. How about you try google? Have a look on the 'A' dvd for the rootfs in a tarball, as root unpack it, then using google, learn how to create an ext3 image.
