Ok so the update is supposed to be there. But where is it?

If I go to tableteer on my N800 it informs me that there's a new version. It goes on to list it as '4.2007.38-2', but when I try to get it from the usual place then I only see the three old ones: 2.2006.51-6, 3.2007.10-7, 4.2007.26-8 (the latter one is the 'Skype' release). No 4.2007-38.2!

I see it too and the description only points out they fixed the very same bug people are discussing on this thread.. and nothing else ?
We'll see as soon as the update will be available on their site for download:

What's new

OS 2007 edition v. 4.2007.38-2 includes:

Fix to avoid SDHC memory card data corruption

This new release provides a software fix for a bug which may have appeared while copying large amount of data over-the-air or from external SDHC memory card to internal memory or vice versa. In some cases the downloaded data may have been corrupted.

There are no other changes to previous release v. 4.2007.26-8 that included Skype client support, Adobe® Flash® 9 browser plug-in an up to 8 GB memory card support among other improvements.
Until now, no download for linux available ;(

So it's a boring update. I had hoped the new FCC device and a new firmware with cool new features would come today, but I guess that's later.

You were probably the only one then.

Ok it's there now. Did anyone look at it yet? If it is _only_ the kernel that's changed then I would prefer to just flash the kernel, instead of going through yet another image update.

EDIT: Ah, just read the 'news' item.. looks like just the kernel. So I'll try to go that road then, to avoid having to reinstall everything.

"just" the kernel ?
It's circa 87Mb !!

and I think I'll have to do it as I just got a 4Gb SDHC memory card and I won't risk losing my data.

Doing it now.

EDIT: oh I see what you mean.. trying to get only the kernel out of it and flashing just that. Waiting for it then

Done flashing the kernel only, that was pretty painless. The only problem seems to be that when flashing just the kernel the version number in the control panel etc. isn't getting updated, so when I click tableteer it still informs me that I should upgrade. I don't want to do the image update, so I'll hunt around in the system to see if I can update that version number manually.

You've extracted the kernel from the .bin file ? or you found it somewhere else ready to be flashed.

It's a shame that we have to re-install everything just because of bug fix
