Here's my recipe for current image boot and gsm registration success: 1) Get into u-boot console by stopping the bootloader with the AUX button and using ttyACM0 on the host. Remove "console=ttyACM0,115200" from bootargs_base (This tip from Harald in <http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=788#c10>) 2) ipkg upgrade from buildhost to the latest versions of all packages. (You might need to ipkg remove -force-depends libmokojournal2 and ipkg install libmokojournal2-0 if your starting from a very old rootfs) 3) Build and install from SVN revision 2946 for openmoko-dialer2 (this revision fixes a bug which stops you from being able to dial). 4) Restart gsmd in /etc/matchbox/session 5) You can also comment out the "load-sample startup" line from /etc/pulse/session if you need to not have the reboot wake up your 2yr old daughter ... Yes, that's the current state of the GTA01 software - you have to go through all these hoops just to be able to reliably make a phone call after boot. -- Rod
