           Summary: Altboot from image hangs OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1 on SL-C700
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: OpenZaurus 3.5.4.x
          Platform: ARM
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Distributions
        AssignedTo: [email protected]

Booting with altboot from an image file hangs my corgi at about the time the
display manager starts (either gpe or opie). The problem did not occur on
3.5.4, but occurrs almost every time on the new 3.5.4.1. I've tried various
sizes of the image file with no effect: 50, 64, 100, 128 MB.

By hanging I mean that neither the Fn+arrow keys work, I can't even log in via
ssh (which I have enabled to start automatically at boot; the network module
and interfaces are also configured, of course).

Some ways I could work around this: disabling oz-bootsplash or commenting out
the line starting with zcat in it, then disabling the automatic start of
opie/gpe and starting it manually from the console. It still hangs often at
some time, but my corgi is at least functional for several minutes.

The idea of commenting the zcat line came from the following error message,
which I saw on boot (relevant or not):

zcat: write: No space left on device
zcat: crc error
zcat: Incorrect length

I might be wrong, but since the most obvious difference from 3.5.4 is the
bootsplash image, I suspect it's the culprit. On the other hand, my normal
installation on the internal flash card works fine every time.

I'd be grateful for tips on how to debug this issue.
