I need to build my own version of 0.6.x to include the extra sounds package
(yes I know I could simply download them later, but I choose to include them
into the ramdisk... and I don't really understand why you don't include them
by default -- I asked several months ago and astlinux team declined). So,
I'm in process of building the svn 2084 level that has worked reliably for
me.
I don't think it has anything to do with asterisk-gui. I was suspecting it
for a while because if you actively use the gui then it does write to the
flash disk a fair amount. However, I have avoided messing with it for the
last week or so to eliminate it from suspicion.

However, it is quite possible that it is something I have mis-configured.
I'm just going to get myself back to a level that I have confidence in and
will then go from there.

I'll continue to report what I find.
