I can't give you a list, but I've been using SHR (first testing, now unstable) from a 4 gig SD card (using qi as the bootloader) for quite some time now. I also use gps a lot, and did not have any problems with that. Before that, I used various incarnations of the 2008.X line in the same fashion, also without problems getting a gps fix since the software fix was released.

The SD/GPS issue was the one I really wanted to avoid. I waited for many months to order my Neo, just so I could avoid that. Guess I just need to start not believing anything I read on this list. ;) I've spent the last month trying out various distros and various SD cards, with varying amounts of agony.

As far as I can tell, the relationship between date code and PCB revision is this: Date code <= 20080718 is GTA02v5. Date code >= 20080722 is GTA02v6. Someone else (on community, support or hardware list) disassembled a GTA02 with date code 20080718 and found a PCB revision A5. I disassembled my GTA02 with date code 20080722 two weeks ago and found a PCB revision A6. -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen Danish law requires addresses in e-mail to be logged and stored for a year ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

But if you booted, you can put off battery and Neo will work only with USB power. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

what hardware version do I REALLY have?
I ordered my FreeRunner from the Openmoko store in April 2009. By that time, someone on the list was telling people that all FreeRunners currently shipping were hardware version 6 or later. (I really wanted version 7, but decided I didn't want to wait, 6 would be good enough.) Well, I just did cat /proc/cpuinfo and it said: Revision : 0350 ...which means hardware version 5, I think. Did they really ship me an older hardware version?
