Ah, OK, slowly I start to understand. Pitily I won't be able to help here since I do not have a GTA02, just the GTA01B-V3 and -V4 (which I would like to revive as development devices a little, hence my hacking ;) My questions around batteries just came up because while updating from MS4.1 to MS5.0 and MS5.1 caused the battery indicator (on the GUI panel) to display a false "charging" state regardless of the actual state. So I suspect that we are actually not seeing a kernel problem here but rather a problem of the framework not finding the GTA01 battery anymore? Again this is an actual GTA01 device not a GTA01 battery in a GTA02 device ;) > -Mike (mwester) Cheers nils -- kernel concepts GbR Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Sieghuetter Hauptweg 48 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57072 Siegen Mob: +49-176-21024535 -- _______________________________________________ Smartphones-userland mailing list Smartphones-userland@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/smartphones-userland
