Opie Freezes Once I Try To Restart
« on: June 17, 2005, 07:19:22 pm »
Hey guys.

    I'm using OPIE 3.5.3 on my Zaurus 5500.  When I reboot OPIE, it always freezes up and the mail light lights up green.  The only way I can power it off is by physically removing the battery.  Why does this happen?  
It doesn't happen when I shutdown. ONly when I try to reboot.

Thanks

Sounds like the infamous double reboot bug on 5500. It's a kernel bug in 2.4.18-embedix. Unfortunately no one had time or interest to backport the fix from 2.4.19-cl.
