Will I never learn?

In four years experience with alternative Zaurus ROMs - as a user, not  
a developer - I have never had "ipkg upgrade" work!  Last night was no  
exception.

My C3200 was flashed with the gpe image, 2007.11RC2.2.  It has been  
working well generally, but has been giving trouble with standby mode,  
nothing consistent enough to do a bug report; sometimes the keyboards  
are "dead" when it's asking for the password, sometimes the wi-fi  
refuses to start up (even after eject/insert the card and ifup) and I  
need to do a reset, so I decided once again to try "ipkg update" and  
"ipkg upgrade".  I actually went through the process three times,  
until "ipkg upgrade" said there was nothing to do, and then re-booted.

The first attempt, with "shutdown -r now" resulted in an unstoppable  
(and unreadable) scrolling screen of messages, so I did a reset.

Now I am stuck at the login screen with unresponsive keyboards  
(physical and on-screen).  Before I give up and re-flash, is there any  
way I can interrupt the boot process early so I can get logged in?   
I'm not sure what that will gain me, except maybe another try at "ipkg  
upgrade" but it's something to try.

Any other suggestions are welcome, and if there are any files I can  
submit to Bugzilla, tell me what to do!

Walt
