Hi, not being an expert, i installed the root filesystem (Openmoko-Freerunner-20080424-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2) and flashed the kernel (uImage-2.6.24+git20080424-om-gta02.bin) when I had got mine cocked up. This took it back to 'as received' condition, and then i opkd update, upgrade once i got the usb networking going again. _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
