I now have everything fixed and happy. Cpu,
What process do you use to set up your Lex systems? Have you been able to get USB support or boot off of USB to work? The only thing that has consistently worked for me is booting off of an IDE CDROM. This is great and fast in the lab, but not a great option in the field. I would like to be able to use USB as the solution to restore or do other maintenance task. Now that I have my CF card repartitioned and formatted with a clean uClibc setup on it, everything is great. It looks like it was all due to the lack of umounting before rebooting. I know that often I would backup some changes and immediately reboot. I'm sure those were some of the worse cases.
