Can't flash fso console images, error -110. Other images flash fine.

[Ben Wilson]

Hi,

I have a weird problem that i just can't figure out.
I'm trying to flash this fso console image to my gta01.

    
http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/fso-stable/milestone5.1/om-gta01/fso-console-image-om-gta01.jffs2

and i always get this...

$ sudo ./dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D ./fso-console-image-om-gta01.jffs2

I've also tried the two other console images on that page

    
http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/fso-stable/milestone5.1/om-gta01/openmoko-fso-console-image-glibc-ipk--20090223-om-gta01.rootfs.jffs2

Both give the same problem.
However, i can flash other distros/images perfectly fine
eg, these all flash fine...

It may not be relevant but all the rootfs that don't work are 22mb in size.
The ones that work are all bigger, starting at 37MB

I've tried the following with no luck
    1) Getting the latest version of dfu-util
    2) Flashing from a different PC
    3) Doing a nand erase rootfs
    4) Using a different usb cable

I'm running U-Boot 1.3-2-moko12 (Dec 17 2008 - 00:48:40)

If it helps here's what my boot env looks like
(i edited it recently to make it boot from uSD by default and so might
have something to do with the problem if i did something wrong in there)
