[maemo-users] Can't become root :-(

[From: Mark]

Thanks for the suggestions, but many of them were chicken-and egg
problems, and I had already tried all the "become root" methods on
maemo.org.

My previous upgrade from OS2008-1 to OS2008-2 had gone painlessly,
including restoring all the settings and apps. It's beyond me why the
restore choked when I was only reflashing the exact same OS version.

Anyway, I finally just reflashed again and restored everything the
hard, slow way, by doing it one thing at a time. Huge PITA, but at
least I'm back in business.
