i edited the om-gta02-feed.conf file to point to
http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/om-gta02/ and the did
an update/upgrade. this got me a new kernel, to wit:
Upgrading kernel on root from
2.6.24+r10.1+gitrf5b973489beb1a1239dfad53e3ad6e36ff7ee958-r10.1 to
3:2.6.24+gitr76014+fb42ce6724576fc173faf8abfb04aa2c36d213b7-r2.01...
and also a number of kernel modules and other stuff.
i then rebooted the unit and ran my tests again. with this kernel, i
no longer get the wsod on screen blank but i still get it when i
suspend/resume. also, letting the unit blank/unblank after a wsod no
longer clears up the wsod.
something is not entirely kosher though as my usb networking went
away. there may be other brokenness as well.
