My FreeRunner won't boot unless I hold down the AUX button while powering up and select "boot" manually from the menu. This problem started to appear when I had piped junk into all mtdblock devices on my FR. (I had misinterpreted one of the wiki pages about images (the instructions were intended for the host machine, not the FR itself))
I reflashed my FR with another image, but as the previously working suspend was not doing so any more, I eventually decided to update uboot. This solved my suspend issues somewhat but not the boot problems. Yes, I also toyed with different uImages, to no avail. So what does happen if I press the power button without AUX? After a few seconds, I get an AUX-button blink, a soft vibration (I like this actually) and at the same time, the display lights up, but instead of showing me any bootup screen, it displays the the contents of some video buffer (i.e. some random lines of noise or even the entire last screen contents before shutdown). Holding down the power button for any period of time at this stage yields nothing. I have to remove the battery. (Worries about backplate durability anyone?) Any suggestions?
