Freerunner GPS not working

Hi,

I'm unable to get a GPS fix on my Freerunner, S/N 8A8602882. I'm using
a "Linux om-gta02 2.6.24 #1 PREEMPT Wed Jul 30 11:56:48 CEST 2008"
kernel with the stock 2007.2 that came with the Freerunner.

After trying agpsui as descibed in the wiki for about an hour - without any
satellites seen and trying the instructions given in 
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/support/2008-July/000899.html I still
don't get squad. Of course, tangogps and the lot don't work either.

For those who understand NMEA, I'm seeing the following sequence in a
apparently endless loop:

$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPVTG,,,,,,,,,N*30
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,00,99.99,,,,,,*48
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,99.99,99.99,99.99*30
$GPGSV,1,1,00*79
$GPGLL,,,,,,V,N*64
$GPZDA,,,,,00,00*48

For as far I can see, the internal antenna connector is seated well.

Any ideas?
