I had this same issue booting off a clean 16GB sd. I switched to a clean 2GB and it booted right up. I don't know if the size had anything to do with it, but it fixed my problem.

I have a ScanDisk 16 GB class 2 and everything runs great.

I even tried it on a new sd card aside from the one all my other stuff is on. Still the same. I'm usually good with stuff like this but can't figure it out. Getting pretty disappointed

Just thought I'd pass along something...

A lot of people here say that you need to extract all the files to the root of the SD card in order for Android to boot up and work properly

But if you like keeping your SD card clean, you can try this instead:

1) Delete all the Android files from your SD card
2) Create a folder on the root of the SD card called 'Android' (no quotes, exact spelling and punctuation - i.e. capitalized 'A')
3) Dump all the Android files back in that new folder you just made
4) Boot 'er up

Note: This method will still create 'cache' and 'data' folders on the SD card, but everything else will be kept nice and tidy in that 'Android' folder you made

Note 2: If you use the method above, and if you use the Gen.Y DualBOOT method, then you need to make the following registry change:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT, then change the "AndroidBootFolder" dword to 1. Soft reset. (Thanks clifftrue)

I noticed this as well. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, I like this option better. This does make it so the Gen.Y DualBOOT does not work unless you set the AndroidBootFolder=1 in the registry.

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792 and look in the Registry area of the first post.

Yea, I should have mentioned that originally. Thanks for reminding me! You get your first 'Thanks' for pointing it out

I've also updated my original post to reflect this registry edit

I have been trying to track down what chipsets the TP2 and Droid Eris uses, unfortunately other then the fact they share the qualcomm msm7600 I have not been able to find out about any other chips in either phone, and sad to say I have been researching this for a few hours now.

ok, so an idea hit me to look at the fcc filings. I don't really know what I am looking at with the chips in the pictures, but was hoping someone here might.

I'll take a look at the kernel tonight and see what we can dig up. Also i asked this before but does anyone have a full eris image?
