Thanks for clarifying....
Thank you....
I had backupmenu on my N900 prior to this problem....I should have a backup file somewhere....probably a few weeks old....so, was planning on reinstalling backupmenu and trying to do a restore......

One question I have is whether any or the combination of the following things I installed or used on my N900 contributed to the major OS crash:
1. CSSU Testing
2. Backupmenu
3. EasyDebian
4. Extras-Devel Repo
5. Swappolube
There may be other specific items, but these are the first ones that come to my mind......
Or could be that I just didn't have enough free rootfs space?
Had about 48MB as I recall before this crash....
Thanks.
other applications, respectively more likely combination thereof may indeed cause instability.
trial & error is probably your only safe bet
