The reason for downgrading is simple - 2.6.29 doesnt work for gsm - the error is similar to the one reported for GPS (rxerr) a while back. I just flashed uboot back over qi - no wsod yet, tough need a few more resumes to be sure.
Paul F. has worked with me on on it at one point - his take is I have a faulty GSM chip - my thoughts are that it works with certain combinations, not others which means to me something is not being handled correctly. There were a lot of changes in handling serial ports between 2.6.28 and 2.6.29 - I am slowly going over them in order to see whats changed in regard to getting GSM operating.
