Hi,
some more breakage, may be unrelated to Om2009, though...
I've managed to mangle my menues, so now I can't get at the settings
anymore, and the Terminal is also gone. I don't remember being able to
completely disable suspend, and my micro SD card seems to be not
properly recognized. At least, I get this:
root at om-gta02:~#fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7969 MB, 7969177600 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 968 cylinders

I didn't do anything - don't know how the partitions got mounted, BUT
root at om-gta02:~# mkdir data
root at om-gta02:~# mount /dev/mmcblk0p8 data
mount: special device /dev/mmcblk0p8 does not exist
root at om-gta02:~# mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p8
mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
Could not stat /dev/mmcblk0p8 --- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
I did have some unclean shutdowns, though...
IOW, the second half of my 8 gig card which I wanted to use for maps and
other data that is not OS specific and uses large amounts of storage, is
always available.
One more problem: Once the X server crashes, there's apparently NO way
to restart it w/o having at least an SSH connection to the device, or
the device rebooted. There should be an easier way, imho.
Kind regards,
--Toni++
