OK. I did the requisite (spelling I doesn't do ... G) search without finding any relevant hits. So here goes.
C860
Sharp v1.20
Dynamism conversion
Several CF cards.
One resident SD.
Running same setup for almost a year.
Just recently started; when I power on resume (rear button or HOME key) the system has now decided to eject & remount the CF card(s). Happens intermittantly with some apps; not at all if no open apps are "holding" files from the CF; each & every time if Portabase is open.
With Portabase open & in foreground, power off then power back on again, brings up the desktop with Portabase iconized in the lower left task bar.
When brought to the foreground again (sometimes requires more than one tap), whatever file Portabase was open on has been aborted without saving changes & Portabase is back at the file selection menu. Sometimes in the last used sub directory but other times at the Internal - CF - SD pick level.
Not blaming Portabase. It just happens to be the app that will always trigger the problem. Other apps are intermittant, but with Portabase I can watch the CF icon disappear & reappear each & every time.
While I can usually save changes before power off, it is a major PITA to have to navigate back to the file that was in use each & every time that power is resumed.
And this is brand new behavior. Never happened before a day or two ago. It is not card dependent and does not happen if an NAND of a "fresh" OS version is flashed on the same hardware.
Flashing fresh NAND to my other "backup" C860 gives identical behavior also.
I really would rather not have to reinstall all my apps & the last NAND is older than I like (I know, I KNOW - backup, backup, backup .... sigh).
So, suggestions, oh ye Qtopia mavens?
TIA & Happy Memorial Day weekend to those who celebrate it -
