NC hangs on startup with Honeycomb on SD card

[Tom S.]

I'm trying to run Honeycomb off of the SD card. I follow the instructions in the sticky, and create the SD card image. When I insert the card and try to boot up, the screen just sits at "_android" page.

I have Froyo on SD working fine, so I know it is not a procedure type thing. They are 2 different classes though, the Honeycomb is a 4, while the Froyo is a 10. The manufacturers are also different.

Solved or ????

Same here

I'm having the same problem, though I have gotten it to work several times as well. Currently running 1.0.1 auto nootered. I had it working fromt 1.1.0 auto nootered as well.

Try a different microSD card. I had the same problem with a generic FileMate 8GB class 4 microSD; it just hung on the android_ screen. Then I tried running Honeycomb on a Kingston 4GB class 2 microSD. It worked but it was pretty slow. Finally, I bought a 8GB Patriot class 10 microSD and it works perfectly now.

I have discovered that pushing the Home button on the bottom of the Nook Color twice will start Honeycomb.

YESS!! My NC has been hanging since last night and I was afraid I was going to have to re-format and reinstall..Thank you!

I'm having the same issue with mine installed to internal memory... any ideas? (I'm thinking maybe my NC doesn't like the overclock, seeing as to how I installed from zip)

Pushing the n twice (or 20 times) didn't work for me...any thoughts?
