So... what images did you flash? I've seen this on my FR with some
images. When I tried UBIFS images, for example, I got the CPU stall. I
simply took that as non-working UBIFS, but I'm not sure. When I
reflashed with shr-testing from 11 dec (jffs2 into NAND) and uImage from
6 dec everything was fine. You can try that, albeit it's a long shot
since your problems started with having your FR experience a few moments
of weightlessness at the cost of a large deceleration at the end.

See http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/

Best of luck,
