If you can reformat or fsck your card it's not the same problem.
FAT file system will corrupt e.g. if you take the USB cable out
without synching MMC the contents.

I think the hacker edition hasn't updated the kernel, only the software
on the rootfs.  I don't know whether the N770 kernel had the same power
management issue as N800, the hardware at least is a bit different so
it might not.
