It looks like that's an update to the 770 not the 800. I don't know whether whatever's been done here was incorporated into the latest kernel for the N800 (and therefore this patch). I had several reboots which I attributed to the patch whilst trying to test it with dd. I reflashed with the original firmware and was still getting the reboots. I've filed a bug report regarding it: https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=956 I don't suppose you were doing anything like that? At least one person on the Internet Tablet Talk forums initially thought that a reboot they'd encountered was down to the patch but then later reported it was running seemingly stable. There's also an issue with the file manager formating cards using FAT and therefore limiting the card to 2Gb: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3895&page=10 Mark _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
