While trying to boot the .37 kernel I ran into an interesting problem.
The .37 kernel seems to detect the read-only switch on the SD card slot now, which the old kernel ignored and just assumed it to always be write-enabled.
This wouldn't be much of a problem, but on my pandora it seems to think it's always set to read-only, which causes a kernel panic when booting the kernel rw. (works when giving ro as a bootarg though) This would probably mean the sd card itself can't be written to once the kernel boots, which would mean pnd's wouldn't be able to run.
This far my pandora seems to be the only one to have these problems (as usual :) )
So I'd like to find out if it's just a case of me getting another broken pandora, or that it's a problem with a small number of pandoras, or even a whole batch that's somehow using other hardware.
A simple test is to extract the two files from this archive to an empty ext2 formatted sd card, and boot it.

what you should see : http://wreck.k-n-p.org/pnd/pnd3/pscreen.jpg (it fails because there are no other files on the sd)
and what i get on my pandora : http://wreck.k-n-p.org/pnd/pnd3/37-kp1.jpeg (you get the same if you flip the switch on the sd card on a pandora where it does boot the kernel)
