Yes, there is another way to get this issue unfortunately too. We moved ~ USB over Ethernet support on the Freerunner into a module. But, it's commonly written around that folks should update their kernel by DFU. This was never a good idea for a modular kernel (it does nothing to update the modules) and now it's a really bad idea. If you update your kernel by the packaging from inside the Freerunner it won't make this problem as it updates the modules at the same time (now, anyway, there were other problems with that method until recently). If that's what's happened (try the Uboot update first though because that fits the symptom as well) best plan is nuke these guys on your device (kernel + matching rootfs) with dfu http://buildhost.openmoko.org/releases/Freerunner/ and start over. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiZeFoACgkQOjLpvpq7dMqUXACcC7xnLGScuoq5b0RTmmwdZ79y 3hsAnRFCyGb9feZAtNUzDLKPDqmfD28J =mbCO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
