Do you get the impression that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong... I think I'll leave the 4430SDP alone until I have more patience for it. I might see about setting up the ARM Realview platform as a remote terminal for the 4430SDP so at least these kinds of crashes don't take out my work machine. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
