UPDATE: Be forewarned. It seems that if you use PenguinBait's install-tools deb to clone diablo to sd this rotation support will be borked. Someone smarter than me will have to tell you whether and when you'll be able to have both at the same time...
This is great. So does this mean I dont have to update my kernel in diablo. Can I just go right to steps 4 and 5 then install the rotate plugin??
Thanks for clarifying...

OK, I'm not really happy with this "upgrade".

FWIW, I also cannot install Rhapsody, but the only reason I was trying to install was in order to remove and get rid of the freaking Rhapsody icon in my programs list.

Here's a couple other gripes:

- browser seems MUCH SLOWER to me now. It doesn't seem to be cacheing anything, it has to reload pages when I hit the "back" button. Very annoying, it really slows down web browsing.the old one didn't do this.

- broswer randomly crashes for some reason, it just closes out of the blue. Didn't do that to me before.

- FM Radio - hello!? Can't listen through the external speakers anymore? Is this a bad joke? Can anyone else confirm this issue, please? (clarification: when you put the headphones in, to use as an antenna, the sound will not come out of the external speakers. The sound does come out of the external speakers when you don't have the headphones in, but it's just static, of course.)

Other stuff - Modest didn't work for me on Yahoo! POP when it was a beta, and still doesn't. It retrieves mail fine, but you can't send mail. Seems like a "small" problem, not being able to send or reply to email. LOL

Not a big issue, but volume control in the default media player acts different - it doesn't adjust volume immediately, it waits until you release the slider and then adjusts. Weird. Like I said, not a big problem, but is definitely not an improvement, either.

I like the idea of not having to reflash for upgrades. Otherwise, there rerally doesn't seem to be much advantage to upgrading and seems some stuff, for me anyway, is broken or degraded to the point where, dare I say - I'm going back to chinook.

The Diablo initfs is now 4MB so won't fit in a Chinook initfs partition. I think you'll probably have to flash the entire fiasco image.

Also, make sure your battery is fully charged - I've seen the device reject flashing (seen as failed writes on the PC side) when the battery was <50% full even with the charger plugged in.

Nope, works fine here... You did click the little radio icon (which then changes to headphones), right?

Uh, yeah I DO know how to use the FM radio app! Been using it for quite some time now. LOL

Arrrrrrrrggggh! Reboot fixed this issue. Damnit. Why is it always the simplest thing...

Ok, I've only been running Diablo for about half an hour....the browser's the only thing I've really checked out. I watched a youtube video to see how things were running, and the page flash video loaded up almost instantly! The video was really smooth as well. Then, I tried something from megavideo. On chinook, Megavideo was like watching a slideshow...but this ran just as smooth a youtube! Wow, this is so awesome! But, then again, this is a clean reflash, so no extra ram/processor hogging apps installed. One thing, though, the ITT homepage was rendered a bit weird, but looks perfect on chinook.

Edit- application manager is much more responsive.

After a new flash to diablo, you'll have to update your kernel. But you won't have to update it again after you use PB's diablo-friendly install-tools deb to clone diablo to sd. But you will have to reinstall xomap, xrandr, and the automatic install, as the install-tools deb seems to remove these. See here for more.
