Ok, I'm going to chalk it up to out of space on the root file system. Applied qwerty's kernel, changed /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh, and noatime fix for /usr/sbin/mmc-mount.

So far everything works... and it works *FAST* I may just be smoking the good stuff, but I'm liking it ;-)

Some of the specific improvements I subjectively see.

• Browsing photos in Canola full sized is much snappier ( less spinnies between images )
• Media Player loads a full 700+ song list in a second.
• No stuttering on media player even when activly multi-tasking
• Less startup lag with media-crawler satalling things out.
