Tought I would give it a try

I followed the instructions for using this on my reader:
1. Copy update_kernel, reloaded.o, initrd.igz and zImage files from
this archive to a card.

2. Copy rootfs file to the internal memory - Copied this to the system folder on the book reader

Booting
-----------------

1. Shut the device off.
2. Disable card write protection if you have rootfs on it.
3. Turn the device on and hold the 'center' button until the green LED
blinks.
4. After a long time, Madself will show up.

Did all the above, after the main Bookeen logo came up the led flashed on then off so I released the button and the a blank screen came up, the LED remained on and I waited a long time but nothing loaded.

Any idea where I went wrong?

I also tried following the suggestion of copying rootfs to the second partition on the reader by re sizing the existing 500mb partition and adding a 100mb partition. Unfortunately when it booted I ended up with a checkered display on the screen. Well something else to fix now :-(

I am running Book reader version 1.1 build 708 on a Bookeen Book reader with 500mb so is one of the later models.
