You probably mean the message where it says the saved (overclocking etc) settings were not loaded, no need to reboot you can load the settings from terminal http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#C...ltage_settings

Are you running the kernel overclocked and if so how much ?

This crash too sounds like a heating issue, running both radios at full throttle (Ad-Hoc does not support the various WiFi powersaving extensions anyway and cellular will be loaded with traffick) will take plenty of power which equals plenty of waste heat.

There also might be a "crash log" in /dev/mtd2 ("cat /dev/mtd2" in terminal), if the kernel had time to write it before hitting the ground.

I Don't know what's the problem with desktop shortcut, someone else reported that they cannot add one at all, haven't had time to look into it, it's probably something small with the .desktop file.

If someone could try editing the .desktop file on their device and figure out what needs to be changed to get this working I'd be happy.
