The failure has been seen since Redboot release RB_200918, specifically
we narrowed it down to the call that we mentioned in the Bug report.

Subject: [Bug 392716] Re: notification area applets crash on login

I took a rootfs with GNOME I had prepared for Babbage 2 which was
working fine there, moved that to Babbage 1; it's on a SATA disk which I
plug via an USB adapter.  I could boot this using the new RedBoot
attached to this bug report (candidate 200925 I guess) and it would
trigger the described errors.  I then overwrote RedBoot with the 200918
version, and I got exactly the same issue.

The only difference in dmesg between the boots was in timing of some
device detections and an e2fsck line because the first boot triggerred
an fsck.

Could you please tell me with which kernel you're testing?  I tested
using a binary Babbage 2 kernel I got from FSL which seems to bring up
Babbage 1 fine (except above issues) including VGA port.

Status in "gnome-applets" package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-applets

Release: Ubuntu 9.04 (modified, see below) on Babbage1 or Babbage2.

The error is that notification applets reliably crash on login.  We get
about 10 message windows that say variations of "The panel encountered a
problem while loading OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet".  Other applets that
crashed were: WorkspaceSwitcherApplet, TrashApplet, WindowListApplet,
FastUserSwitchApplet, ShowDesktopApplet, Mixer, IndicatorApplet, and
NotificationAreaApplet.

Babbage1:
Booting with default release 9.04 from Canonical is fine.  If I switch out the 
Redboot for a newer RedBoot (200925), the notification area applets all crash.  
We are looking to see what changed in RedBoot to cause this.  The system is 
functional and stable, networking works, etc so any insights on what could 
cause these applets to crash on an otherwise apparently functional system would 
be helpful.

To reproduce on Babbage1, take the Ubuntu 9.04 release and change the
redboot.  I have attached our 200925 redboot image.  To update the
redboot on the mmc card from a host (if it is /dev/sdc):

# dd if=mx51_babbage_redboot-no-padding.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=512 seek=2

Babbage2:
Release: Ubuntu 9.04 with an updated kernel image, no initrd, updated redboot 
If we boot with an ethernet cable plugged in, no error.  Booting without the 
ethernet cable causes all the notification area applets to crash on login.
