Re: [maemo-developers] permanet reboot after use of flasher 2.0
Hi, I got some Problems with the OS2006 after flashing. It works for about one weeks and the the 770 turns down, reboot, turns down, reboots and so on. Have you charged your battery? AFAIK device shuts down if there's not enough battery. Another reason could be that something's filling the Flash completely full. Do you have e.g. syslog enabled? If Flash is 100% full, the JFFS2 aparently freezes when something tries to write to the full disk and after a while the device is rebooted. You might try flashing the OS2006 again and checking whether the amount of your free Flash decreases with time (without you using it :)). - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: [maemo-developers] permanet reboot after use of flasher 2.0
Yesterday I flashed OS2006 and it worked again without problems. The first time it happened I plugin when I turn on the 770. Today, after using during some hous, after installing gpe-calendar and load-applet it's rebooting again. Do you know how can I obtain the rootfs from inside 770 ? I would like to get some files before reflashing again. Can I say to kernel bootstrap that I would like to open a xterm instead of opening all applications ?
