This problem seems to have arisen with PR1.3, see also earlier in this thread. Qole said that with power-kernel the problem again disappears. At any rate, make backups of your image before doing additional installs or upgrades!

Thank you; sorry I had missed the earlier discussion. Not quite ready for power kernel.

interesting. i do have a power kernel installed but it's v46 with the bleeding edge network drivers which based off a stock power kernel. i had this problem before the power kernel and it's the same now. if you have a non bleeding edge power kernel, let me know if you can install evolution , and if you can i'll see if there's some difference between the 2 kernels. but i'm not sure that the power kernel fixes this from my experience..

don't know if qole is listening, but i seem to remember going through his scripts that the debian partition wasn't mounted in such a way that the write cache was disabled. is there any downside to mounting it write cache disabled? in any case i might temporaily mount it write cache disabled (sync? or something) and see if i can install stuff. will report back in a few days, unless qole jumps in advising me that i'm in danger of bricking my phone.

I don't have power kernel running. My solution was to make backups and to install in smaller pieces when I run into the reboot problem.

What's the best backup solution? rsync? I think sulu had recommended that earlier (see, I do read this thread).

I experience the same problem as leetnoob.

I have power kernel 46 and v3d and if I try to upgrade Gimp or OpenOffice it reboots the phone, corrupts image file and makes MyDocs read-only. Same result is with stock and power kernel 42 and also with image v3e.
Obviously this has something to do with PR1.3, because when I had PR1.2, I could upgrade both applications without any issue.

Hi, Not sure if this is retated to your issue but I have not had a problem with corrupted files or the phone rebooting since I have carefully kept track of memory usage and religiously doing apt-get clean when ever I install or update. I just upgraded OO from sid yesterday with no problem using synaptic.

i modified qmount so all the mount commands had the 'sync' option to disable write caching and it made no difference. easy debian is now broken as far as i can see. well, it's ok so long as you just want to install small trivial apps, but as far as installing anything useful, forget it.

well, if youre able to act as your own dependency/package manager then youre a lot more clever than me, but that aint saying much..

man, i'm really annoyed about this. i'm off to sulk. easy debian is BROKEN.
