This morning immediately after booting the freerunner I got again without
NSOD:

Yes, and one time I noted that after the screen was full of random data,
after some seconds from the middle line to the bottom line there was a
random screen update, it was fast, but I remember it was linear from up to
down.

Just now I'm not able to reproduce, I do not know if it's due to a good GSM
coverage here.

Hm that guy had an encrypted FS which was suspected as the source of the
entropy, because it's actually real tough to just happen across good
random-looking data coming out of nowhere.  So this also makes it sound
like SD Card blocks end up in the framebuffer region, in your case
they'll full of more normally distributed file contents maybe.

Is the random part of the screen always a linear set of vertical lines?
~ Ie, never a 64 x 64 or such pixel square in its own world but always a
linear block of framebuffer memory?

The screen is full of random pixels, but not uniform as in the trac ticket
snapshot.
Touching the TS sometimes update a random part of the screen with other
random pixels.
I'll try to reproduce and take a snapshot asap.

SD Card read/write errors and NSOD

2009-03-09 Thread Nicola Mfb
I'm experiencing read/write error on my 8GB SD card Kingston C08G SDC4/8GB
07 (wiki reports this card shoud work!) with 2.6.28 shr-testing kernel and
with 2.6.24 from 2008.12, followed some times by NSOD (Noise Screen of
Dead).

This does not happen when GSM is off.

I found a similiar problem on http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2217 ,
the difference is that I have the problem with 2.6.24 kernel too! (I
followed the suggestion to down the glamo clock and the slow memory without
success)

Before updating the ticket with my details I'd like to know if there is
kernel version suited to test this better, and have community feedback to
know it this problem affects ather peoples too.

Steps to reproduce:

ssh to freerunner and type:

while true
do
 if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/sd/somefile bs=1024 count=10
 sync
done

while the script is running, operating GSM (call,sms, etc.) randomly
reproduces the problem.

Thanks
