[Gumstix-users] Flash ROM: buffer write error (0xd0)

[Vikram K. <vk...@re...>]

Folks

Today, I loaded the gumstix with a new rootfs image after having added 
some kernel modules as well as other packages.

I used Kermit, and the transfer to the gumstix, the protect on the boot 
sectors, erasing of the old filesystem, and commit of the new filesystem 
went on without a hitch. After that, I performed a "boot" at the GUM> 
prompt

Nothing abnormal occured, except the following message:

====
Starting Rendezvous: Gumstix Flash ROM: buffer write error (status 0xd0)
Write clean marker to block at 0x00780000 failed: -22
====
The /var/log/messages terms the buffer write error as a "user.err" amd the 
failure of the write clean marker as a "user.warn"


After that, the connex proceeded to boot normally.
All modules and packages I had added are there (and hopefully will work 
fine). I had performed two other complete loads yesterday, and this never 
happened.

Should I be concerned ? Will repeated boots worsen this situation ?

I have not performed a power off reset as yet. Are there some diagnostics 
I can run to see why this occured and whether it will occur again ?

Any pointers will be welcome
