ext2 partition on G1 Android

[Gadi Cohen]

Some things that come to mind:


1) Is your ext2 partition your 2nd partition?  When loading, Android
relies on the order of the partition not their type.


2) Is the partition formatted?  The boot might fail if it can't mount
the partition.


If you have adb installed, an 'adb logcat' will probably show you what's
going on even if the phone doesn't complete the boot.

I've tried partitioning with fdisk, gparted, and sdsplit (as per http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Fat_Ext2_Partition). Any ideas what could be wrong?
