"Hi, my name is Peet and I'm a reboot looper..."
So I had my first experience with the loops yesterday after updating OM Weather (to 0.21.6) + stations.dbs in an otherwise solid and unexciting (but uptodate) Diablo system.
Battery was fairly full at ~75-80%, no bash2 installed, emelfm2 was installed but not used during the latest boot session. The system resided on dual-booting N800's internal SD card and I had recently (a week ago) booted from built-in flash to run fsck on all partitions.
OM Weather+stations packages updated without complaints and I turned the device off for reboot. After restart the desktop comes up for a few seconds (without OM Weather visible on screen) before the screen flashes and goes back to restart...
(Precautionary note: Thanks to the slightly outdated "backup OS" in built-in flash, and another slightly outdated Diablo backup on another SD card I'm not completely screwed even if I was on the road...)
