RichardN900, MONVMENTVM, ..guess I'm a little late to the party.

I just restarted my n900 and had it come up with the same issue. All text rendered as squares, and a little black cursor while clicking.

Asked in #maemo to compare with non-broken devices, but others did not find anything incorrect with the font path I'm seeing.
Not certain about the rest.

Indeed looks like (at least) /dev/mmcblk0p2 my ext3 /home fs had been getting a little .. damaged and then fsck.ext3 had a segfault this evening.

rootfs appears to be mounted fine (rw) yet apt-get "E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/" :\
