Hi
I recently installed and confed ereswap and swapset, installed a bit apps.
Today, as the phone was a bit laggy, I decided to reboot.
When I did it, Nokia logo appeared, and then black screen. And nothing else. The display was working but the screen was whole black.
It stays so.
When I came back home, the phone turned itself off, and the problem persisted (I tried to boot up again)
Tried both kp50 & maemo stock kernel, nothing worked.
I'm using CSSU Testing, 8GB microSD.

For 75% the rootfs isn't full, as I had ~40MB free. All the installed apps 'd use ~35MB max, if they were on rootfs. These were: moviefinder, maevies, movie-schedule and some others.

Has anyone got an idea how can I fix it?

/edit: I'd like to avoid reflash

Did you try to just flash the kernel from a firmware image?
Here is the wiki article about http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_t...rt_topic.21.29

Very good point. If you flash the stock nokia kernel most of your mods/bodges and tweaks will not work and fail. This allows you to boot up and fix some stuff. At least this is what I have done on many occasions to stop dodgy overclocks taking place (overclock settings have no effect on nokia kernel so they are ignored allowing the device to boot).

marmistrz, see ereswap thread - this exact problem is mentioned there.

if You have ways of editing rootfs files (backupmenu with it root console, recovery console without backupmenu, or any other) - you're good to go, and You won't need reflash.

If You don't have any of those, and still you're determined to "save" it without reswap - use RescueOS from sd card.

for details on exact issue case, again, see ereswap thread. I'll try to roll-out update ASAP, but I've pretty tight schedule :/

I finally reflashed, as I had none of backupmenu, recovery console, rescueos. "Just another lesson learned ", to quote Alice in Chains. Too bad, as I planned to test overwriting libstdc++6 v 4.2 with Aapo's 4.6 before reflash.

Anyway, thanks for everything, seems extras-devel worked as it should once again

You do not need to "have" rescueOS, it's sort of a "liveCD" Anyway, if you want a recovery console on boot without installing anything(eg bootmenu, backupmenu) special, search for Mentalist Traceur implementation of recovery console in preinit. I use it and it's awesome
