Attach a serial cable to check at what stage the system failed. Meanwhile,
check the spelling in the ini file if you typed it. Perhaps share your ini
file.

1. Try without a space after OS=.
2. Try use uppercase for L.
3. Make sure you ve got the folder structure correct.
4. Make sure you ve got the hidden partition - can verify only through the
process.
5. Without hyperterminal, you can really know much what is happening when
6410 bootup. Attach one and you will see the faults immediately.

how many minutes does linux installing take from sd card ?

vib
At least 2 minutes. But it is fully loaded, it is not slow from my
experience for a system of 533MHz. With Xubuntu, I could even run the
latest Firefox,etc.

Is it always required to have the SD Card for booting? Can we not transfer
the OS to the Nand and have that working without SD Card?

vib
Of course you can. SD card is an option for having the convenience to store
a few OSes in one place. With the OSes in SD card, you simply choose one
you like to run it. If you are happy with it you can change it to install,
which it is permanently copied to NAND, and runs it from NAND until next
changes with the SD card. isn't that brilliant!
