/usr/bin/ias keeps crashing my 770

I am running 2007HE, latest version, and the stats of the lifeguard are
telling: /usr/bin/ias was the cause of 251 reboots.

What can I do to avoid this major cause of instability. I have Fanoush's
kernel, but the crashes also occur even without any mmc card inserted.

Am right in thinking that this program has something to do with audio?

Thanks for your help.

D.

ias restarts or devices reboots?

If I remember correctly, it's related to touchscreen sounds.
Maybe disabling them from control panel helps?

restarts my mistake (I have done my homework since I wrote my last email), but
the reboots seem to be related to ias. The reboot reason is always 32wd_to,
and no core file is created in /media/mmc1/core_dumps. In lifeguard_restarts,
ias increases by about 10-20 every day.

They are already disabled.

This is an valuable insight: on internettablettalk [1], somebody reported that
his tablet restarts about once every 3-4 days, and that the precursor is that
the touchscreen sounds stop, then after 4-6 seconds, reboot, which leaves him
time to save his work.

Anyway, I have renamed /usr/bin/ias and killed the process. I will report in a
few days if ias was the culprit.

If he has time to save his work, I guess the device doesn't get
particularly slow before the reboot?

I think it's just an indication of an issue with multimedia.

The ias restarts probably just indicate DSP reset (which means that all
multimedia daemons are restarted).

Indeed, could it be related to the dsp restart bug reported on the N800 (
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=976 )?

Renaming ias does not improve the reboot situation.

I have noticed that some days (not all of them), the device reboots at
11:58pm, but retutime does not indicate any alarm.
