Install the latest package, no cleanup is needed.

Do all of you who get the shutdown problem have the bootmenu installed? I never had it until reflashing with the bootmenu and it happens every time from both flash and mmc.

Do you have the latest kernel-dt-sd and mini-rc packages installed?
If in doubt, install them again.

Yet another voice in the chorus of "thanks".

I installed Diablo-Turbo on my N810-WiMax about 3 weeks ago. I first upgraded to the community SSU (to both the internal flash and the SD card), then I installed the Diablo-Turbo packages to just the SD card. The installation was easy and the machine was distinctly faster.

The upgrade yesterday was similarly easy and productive.

I boot from flash (using Fanoush's bootmenu), and here are some of the apps which people may have concerns about conflicting with the Diablo-Turbo packages. These all work correctly for me:

advanced-backlight
advanced-power
advanced-power-monitor
dbus-scripts-settings
dbus-switchboard
large-statusbar-clock
slidelock

I had kernel-2 (not the zImage that was later released) and packages for it installed without the bootmenu, worked fine. Flashed with bootmenu, spent a couple days setting it up while using CSSU, downloaded the four new DT files (deleting the old first) and ever since then it won't shutdown.

So its gotta be bootmenu+DT, the DT files released on the 18th or the radiation I'm receiving in America from Japan. Do you still have a copy of the previous mini-rc that I could try? Is it safe to downgrade from kernel-3 to kernel-2, was it only kernel-1 that had packaging problems?

EDIT: And yes, I did reinstall kernel and mini-rc even though dpkg -l showed them installed with correct version and it had no effect.

At my firsts attemps at boot from mmc, much before DT, I also ran into troubles with ext2 quite often.
The best sollution is to move to ext3, as the journal protects you from the usual problems that arise if the ext2 filesystem is not properly umounted.
To solve your problem now, boot into flash and "fsck -p -f" the ext2 partition. Then I suggest you to convert it to ext3 (Diablo incorrectly mounts ext3 as ext2 but DT fixes that)
Thanks. In the meantime, I successfully converted the partition into ext3 using your steps and also added an additional layer of work as described here. The inode errors, however, are still coming back.

I also discovered the reason for the "short read in buffer_copy" errors: the deb file, which I was trying to install with dpkg, was not download fully. After i wget the file again, the "short read" error disappeared.

However, I still could not install the new kernel. A downgrade to kernel 1 worked. An upgrade not:

dpkg -i kernel kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3_all.deb
Reading database...
Preparing to replace kernel-dt-sd 2.6.21-1 (using kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3_all.deb)...
Unpacking replacement...
Setting up kernel kernel-dt-sd (2.6.21-1)
Installing new kernel modules in initfs...
Flashing new kernel image...
Image(s) successfully flashed
Kernel image flashed
Please reboot

Any hints?

Opps, there is actually a bug in the mini-rc workaround.
I have uploaded a new mini-rc package. Please, try it.

I feel confused:
dpkg -i kernel kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3_all.deb ->you are upgrading to kernel 3
but...
Setting up kernel kernel-dt-sd (2.6.21-1) shows kernel 1 installed?

Thanks. Now I successfully installed kernel 3!

The naming errors where due to the fact that I used wget and only modified the filename after I had download the kernel 1 file:

i.e.

first I downloaded https : // garage. maemo. org / frs / download.php / 9327 / kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-1_all.deb
(ID 9327)

then I downloaded https : // garage. maemo. org / frs / download.php / 9327 / kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3_all.deb
(ID 9327)

instead of https : // garage. maemo. org / frs / download.php / 9431 / kernel-dt-sd_2.6.21-3_all.deb
(CORRECT ID 9431)

;-)

I will have to check now if the other files installed really are all up-to-date.
