Howdy All!

I am using the latest TS7800 image (512mbsd-jul172008.dd.bz2).

When I install the image on the onboard NAND (using createmtdroot) I get the following when booting to the NAND:

After the initial boot, the exim4 error goe s away (strange).

But the real issue is that now it takes about 20 seconds between the following two lines when booting directly to the NAND using the supplied linuxrc-mtdroot script:

>> Booting to MTD...
INIT: version 2.86 booting

I have checked the md5 for the image (512mbsd-jul172008.dd) and burned it to the NAND a few times.

Anybody else having similar issues?

Thanks!
Rob
