Re: community Digest, Vol 102, Issue 16
I'd suggest slowing the clock rate on an 8gb card even if it "appears" to work. Stability and random crashes ranging from hard locks to tangogps hanging when reading maps from SD reduce/go away. PIN dialog also seems a bit more reliable (well ... a bit :) BillK On Wed, 2008-10-22 at 09:49 +1100, Sarton O'Brien wrote: > On Wednesday 22 October 2008 07:07:14 Matthew Lane wrote: > > No, I have not tried the 512mb card (it's at home and I'm at college). > > I'm not sure how to do what you're talking about arne, but you're > > suggesting that I can install a base system and put Debian on that?

Both work fine. I can't gaurantee it will work but your chances are a lot higher :) Sarton ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I have tried various cards and have installed debian successfully and unsuccessfully based on the card I use. I now only use 2GB cards and below as they don't seem to suffer from the issues > 4GB seems to present. IMO try a smaller card before you consider alternative install methods, otherwise you might end up like me, with debian installed but randomness occurring. Also don't believe everything the FR reports, use a bit of trial and error, especially with uSD cards.

Re: community Digest, Vol 102, Issue 16
No, I have not tried the 512mb card (it's at home and I'm at college). I'm not sure how to do what you're talking about arne, but you're suggesting that I can install a base system and put Debian on that? Can you point me in the correct direction?

There were only suspend before that blocked me to use the FR as a daily phone, solved that after 2 or 3 days now there is another bad bug, the WSoD. After resuming the phone from a suspend which last more than 10 or 15 minutes i have the WSoD. I've read that some days ago it was fixed so i've downloaded and flashed the daily 2008.8-update (20081020) but with no luck. Is there anything special to do? I was wondering something like resetting glamo registers with a command (eg. "echo -n 1 > /sys/glamo/reset_glamo_registers") to put in the resume scripts or a final solution of this bug. If i can help providing logs or testing just ask.
