I made a new image from stable today, until now, I had been using an image I made from the testing repos. both created with deboostrap with arch=armel.
Both of them freeze while doing things on the kindle, but are fine when copied back to a host PC and ran with user-mode qemu.
with the squeeze image, I didn't need to call apt-update, since it was already done on the host-pc before copying over. I even managed to do an apt-get install from the kindle without it crashing! unfortunately, it wasn't that the problem went away, it just seems like it just managed to finish before freezing. I tryed to install another larger package, and froze while unpacking...
( good news though! I can play tetris as long as I like! )
regarding diags mode, Theres two reasons I see why I don't really want to go that route:
1. no ssh access means I have to flash a new image there, which I'm nt sure I'm ready to do at this point.
2. from information in several posts before, you seem to say that it drains batteries several times faster than main mode.
however I might end up there soon...
