I mean 2588 insted of 2587 here if you decide to do a full
build update. I miss-read the logs.

Hi Mikus,

Can you re-test with 2586 and then 2587? 2587 brought in a
kernel configuration change (CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND) and
I'm wondering if it is the root cause. You can just update
the kernels if you feel comfortable updating kernel RPMS
as per http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Kernel#Installing_OLPC_kernel_RPMs.

2587: 
http://dev.laptop.org/~dilinger/master/kernel-2.6.27-20081210.1.olpc.05aa2d840dc7b96.i586.rpm
pre-2587:
http://dev.laptop.org/~dilinger/master/kernel-2.6.27-20081201.1.olpc.672cde9409f412e.i586.rpm

Thanks,
~Deepak

Joyride SD card corruption

2008-12-12 Thread Mikus Grinbergs
WARNING  -- since about build 2590 I can get my "permanent" SD card 
(ext2 filesystem) completely corrupted - I've had to restore it 
twice.  [This is a regression - with 2583 and earlier I never saw 
any SD corruption.  Note that my systems have multiple USB devices.]

I am unaware of the cause.  Everything seems fine - I type in 
'shutdown -r now' - the XO shuts down and restarts - but hangs 
before showing any of the OFW output lines.  [Looking afterwards 
from a running system at the SD card, the ext2 filesystem on it is 
thoroughly hosed (e.g., 'ls' shows questionmarks;  'fsck' lists 
zillions of deleted inodes, plus incorrect refcounts, etc.).]
