I've done some testing with Raspbian following the great wiki mentioned at the begining fo this thread[1]. After some configuration (overcloking (just Modest mode at 800MHz, run optimization script... but no Jack for the moment) I tried to connect an UA25EX (UA25 newer version) but It failed the first time, it rebooted itself, and then it kept rebooting all the time. It corrupted the 2GB SD, now I cannot even format and start all over again (the system doesn't recognize or mount it). I think Jeremy and someone else have an UA25, did something like this happened to you? I've been using my RPi with Raspbian and RasBMC (this I think it has 800MHz configured by default) for some time now, and all went ok and never corrupted the SD card even having several reboots in this time. (Maybe I'll have to buy another SD card and try that 8GB image made for Pure Data) Regards.
