Hmm. I'm not sure about this one. Clearly it's set up right if it manages to boot; it's possible the SD Card is just too slow to load, so it's not finding it. If so, adding rootdelay=5 to the cmdline (in startup.txt) might help. That's a shot in the dark, but give it a try.



Those are not where the boot gets stuck. The boot got stuck right before that, and then 120 seconds later that message popped up. Most likely it got stuck at the sd card mounting -- reformatting isn't always enough, you might need to repartition with hp disk tool or gparted.



I haven't tried it lately, but I recall it working without too much trouble the last time I attempted it. Just drop HTC_IME_KEYBOARD.apk from the AndroidApps/Other folder into the base of AndroidApps/.
Thanks for the help makkonen. I was using the AIO package. I formatted my SD Card, then copied the "andboot" folder to my SD card... not too sure what partitions you are referring to?
