Just updated my N800 and my girlfriends N800. For her device it did work without problmes. Mine did end up in a reboot loop. :-(
Pretty much the same apps installed on both devices. Also only "normal" apps from Extras repository. No low level stuff like different kernel, screen rotation or something like that.
The only difference coming to my mind is, that on my girlfriends N800 only apps from the Diablo Extras repository are installed. On my N800 I had also some apps installed like Maemo Mapper which are coming from Chinook Extras.
Maybe that's the reason for the reboot loop?
Anyway, after a reflash I was able to successfully update also my N800...

A couple known/suspected problem apps (at some time; not necessarily issues now, but wanted to get them out there):
- Powerlaunch
- Any rotation implementation

After uninstalling sliderotate the update downloaded, but failed with a message of being unable to install, and now I have the endless reboot loop. I think it happened because a lack of free space issue and the update's big file size.
Alephito: if that is beyond you, then you have to reflash.

"Hi,
After upgrading to the new version of OS2008 (new version: 4.2008.36-5), maemomapper did not work anymore.
When I put an address on "go to address", after some time a message appears: "Failed to connect to GPX directions server".
Does anyone know why this happened and what the solution to solve this problem?
Thanks,"
Only I had this issue?
Will someone help me?
Thanks.

Hm... Make sure the update's configure script succeeds. The update didn't restart my system automatically. Some poking in the terminal told me that the package was broken. pre-installed-documentation-rx44 was not the latest version, causing dpkg to spew an error prematurely.
Again, curse that preinstalled documentation!
So I now have a broken upgrade package, which bizarrely seems to have run about half of its configure script. I'm afraid of rebooting my tablet, since this may be what has caused peoples' problems.
Will Maemo ever have repositories which do not cast shame on Debian's good name?
(And Damnit, documentation is meant to be a Recommend, not a Depend. Why do so many packagers not understand that dpkg gives them three levels of these things and it is imperetive that they understand them to not break stuff!)

I've already played with the Application Manger pieces. No go...

If using sliderotate it seems you can't update because xserver-xomap is not the right version.
Ahh! I guess this answers it:

If you boot from SD, it should be fairly easy to backup the filesystem from the SD -- do that, and then you may dare anything!

I don't see the update via app manager, but I do see it if I run apt-get upgrade. You guys think it's safe to upgrade via apt-get?

Thanks for posting this.
I also had the same issue and was confused.
All is good now.
Thanks.
