I never had such symptoms but I don't use wi-fi regulary for ssh into the device, I prefer bluetooth (better response time, lower power requirements, no random disconnects). Maybe wi-fi driver is buggy and reboots the device? There are many variables in wi-fi network (access point brand and settings) so there can be combinations which are not stable. So the battery may be ok, just wi-fi may be the problem.

I'll try the above combinations and let you know!

This is the sources.list I used to upgrade to Sardine:

Code:

/opt/etc/apt # more sources.list

#maemo:essential

deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/     mistral user

deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/non-certified/ mistral user



deb http://repository.maemo.org sardine main

deb http://repository.maemo.org maemo2.0 free non-free

What other repositories should I add? I read some documentation on the Sardine Wiki that suggested the above repositories were all that I required.

All these messages are just warnings or infos but it definitely looks like there were random reboots with jffs2 filesystem in the middle of work. In theory it should still work but if there are some strange issues I'd try reflash (rootfs only, otherwise you loose the bootmenu). You can still backup old rootfs to mmc before reflash in case you need to boot it or want some data from it later.

And there's me thinking I've taken good care of my 770! :) I've only flashed the standard firmware (all OS2005 releases, then enabled r&d mode, then flashed OS2006 beta and final). Yesterday I replaced initfs, that's the full extent of my device flashing! Day to day usage is pretty stable - I have the occasional unexplained reboots (quite rare really) but I thought everyone had these! :)

I'm guessing if I restore rootfs I'll lose all installed applications etc. so will keep that as a last resort. If I've missed any Sardine repositories I'll add them and try upgrading to Sardine again, and if that still fails I'll consider reflashing my rootfs. However if I've got all the correct repositories that implies the Sardine upgrade may not be usable right now in which case I'll wait some more until it is! :)

Any idea where Sardine progress can be tracked/monitored (more from a device point of view than x86 desktop env)?

Many thanks for all your help! :)
