Hello, i am also a noob running umbongo (i am on 32bit 8.04) and i had a similar problem. I broke the whole thing on the fr and no longer had a gui, I flashed the root filesystem (Openmoko-Freerunner-20080424-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2)and seemed to lose usb connectivity, with similar host response, and after some vain faffing about with the host machine(i thought the usb port had become confused) , I flashed the kernel (uImage-2.6.24+git20080424-om-gta02.bin) and that seemed to fix it for me. Obviously I had to install the apps again. Good luck. _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
