Dear all,

sometime ago i moved from uclinux kernel to main line kernel 2.6.36.2, trying to have some fix to some issues on a custom coldfire (m5307) board. At the end, issues was hardware related. By the way, the system seems not to be stable, sometime the network is no more reachable, sometime the device reboot, sometime inetd crash using ftpd ....

I did a review again of the hardware of my board that actually is a prototype, and found maybe some soldering issues. System seems now more stable, by the way, i have some questions:

- Do you suggest i roll back to last uClinux kernel, found on last updated uClinux for coldfire ? - Using busybox ping, i get a single reply and then the program exit. Is this a standard behaviour ? - I have actually read-only fs with 2 ram image fs ("/var" and "/home/user1"). I would like to have the chance to save some files, mostly log/ oops dump and find it back at next reboot (save it to the flash). Is there some tutorial/link for this ?
- any other suggestions to catch this strange

Below some useful info
