I'm booting from SD on my n800 under OS2008 for months now, and wanted to share some problems I've experienced.
Problems range from:
- Browser giving "Could not open storage location" messages
- Connection settings lost, and then magically restored after a few reboots
- Random hangs and crashes
- Bookmarks hang for a few seconds before loading a page
- Metadata crawler plainly refuses to index files
- etc, etc, in other words: strange behaviour :-)
Every time I observed these kind of problems my internal SD card turned out to be seriously corrupted. (After running fsck from my linux desktop on the card.)
This could of course be just a problem with my specific card, a sandisk ultra II 2gb, but maybe some others also observed this and didn't realize it could be due to booting from SD / filesystem corruption.
(These sort of problems can be slightly frustrating, I can tell :-))
Anyone else noticed this?
