I have gotten same "screen won't blank" thing a few days ago.
In my case I suspect about high load scenario. The device freezes and I reboot it. Then it happened.
Restarting once won't solve it. Nor restarting twice. Restarting third time do the trick.
Sorry for bad english.

Or just do the truncation with stuff present in the base install like perl:

While you're at it, why don't you add the equivalent of "if filesize(Z)<$l: exit(1)" before truncate?

Looks good, I'll try.
But a few questions:
uninstalling can just be done by
?
in the folder where the debs exist.
And does the sysvinit fix the spontaneous reboot issue ?

uninstalling
Code:
apt-get remove kernel-dt-sd

No, when all goes right I do not want to revert.
I just ask it in case it goes wrong. My N810 works fine except the spontaneous reboots sometimes more than once a day. And as bonus it is faster.
I'll try.

Yes, you should see it. "cat /proc/swaps" should show all your swap devices and you should see /dev/ramzswap0 there, "ls /dev/ramz*" should show the ramzswap device entry, and "cat /proc/ramzswap" the usage stats.
If it is not there, try restarting it from xterm as root ("/etc/init.d/ramzswap restart")

The installing worked flawlessly. But running uname -r returns 2.6.21 is that OK ?
I see further no differences and the reboot issue is NOT resolved: two hours after the update the device rebooted spontaneously (Tear browser was running).
Did I something wrong ?
UPDATE: After half an hour it rebooted AGAIN, while Tear browsers was running.
Is this a problem in the tear browser ?
UPDATE2: After another 30 minutes (starting Firefox / Fennec , surfing a bit and closed it) it rebooted again (3rd time) !
So this patch does not help at all.
