I'm trying to install Arch in a chroot by mashing together http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewto...e0e161707274e4 and https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96048

First time it happened while dd/mkfs'ing the file, later while downloading/extracting the Arch rootfs.

First I thought it was this outbound connection disconnection business, but I don't think that's it, as I disabled netwatchd.

At a seemingly random time, the Kindle UI stops responding. It does not accept new ssh connections, and a while later, the current one dies as well.

In between the first event and the second, I ^C and `ls`, which hanged as well. That reinforces my suspicion it is IO related.

When I replug the Kindle, usb network comes and goes, so something is still running in there, but SSH doesn't work at all. Only thing I can do is hold the power button for a while to reboot.

Any ideas?
