If this only occurs with Gutsy for you, then it might be that it is the combination of your hardware plus the software (either Gutsy or the flasher). I am using a ugly and old several years old Dell D600 and at least this thing works on it (allthough it has a number of other maemo-unrelated issues because of the outdateness of the hardware, but that is an another story).
