my XO has difficulty with f9

[Mikus Grinbergs]

Been running reasonably happily with f7 builds (primarily Joyride 
2056). G1G1; Q2D16.  When I couldn't stand sitting still any longer, 
I installed yesterday's Joyride (f9).  Ran almost acceptably (needed 
manual intervention during boot).

One problem I had was that my USB removable storage devices (except 
for my SD card) were not being recognized, neither by OFW nor by the 
system drivers.  The insoluble problem was that when I installed a 
build (e.g., Joyride 2089), the first boot would work -- but 
thereafter every attempt at booting would "stop" somewhere.  [If I 
used the 'check' key to get out of "pretty boot", the booting 
process would always stop after the console message "Starting 
anacron:".  If I used manual intervention to get to the text 
console, after the "Starting anacron:" message there would be 
periodic "msh0: link becomes ready" messages, sometimes interspersed 
with messages complaining about bad checksums in the jffs2 
filesystem -- but sooner or later the XO would just sit there.]

My problem is that I do not know if I did something after the first 
boot to cause this situation,  Nor do I know how to "correct" jffs2.


Each time the XO would not allow me to boot, I re-flashed the entire 
nand. Eventually got tired of it - am now back to running f7 builds.
