I had backupmenu on my N900 prior to this problem....I should have a backup file somewhere....probably a few weeks old....so, was planning on reinstalling backupmenu and trying to do a restore......
if you have any more recent osso-backup (thus a backup made with the build in backup apps from the N900) you can still restore only your data (comm_and_cal.zip and possible bookmarks.zip) from there

One question I have is whether any or the combination of the following things I installed or used on my N900 contributed to the major OS crash:

1. CSSU Testing

2. Backupmenu

3. EasyDebian

4. Extras-Devel Repo

5. Swappolube

There may be other specific items, but these are the first ones that come to my mind......

Or could be that I just didn't have enough free rootfs space?

Had about 48MB as I recall before this crash....



Thanks.
except for debian i have had those apps running as well. not without problems but without crashing to a state where the N900 wouldn't boot anymore

other applications, respectively more likely combination thereof may indeed cause instability.
trial & error is probably your only safe bet
