Fwiw, I flashed the root filesystem
(Openmoko-Freerunner-20080424-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2)and seemed to lose
usb connectivity, with similar host response, after some vain faffing
about with the host machine(i thought the usb port had become confused)
, I flashed the kernel (uImage-2.6.24+git20080424-om-gta02.bin) and that
seemed to fix it for me. Obviously I had to install the apps again.
