Here's a working patch I made today. Patches flawlessly using the command on my Ubuntu 10.04 box

Sorry for linking, but the board won't allow my to upload the diff. I'll try and keep it available.

Hm, didn't get a reply for this. Just in case others have this problem too:
Looks like the pasted code lacks a space in front of the non-patched context codelines. This at least helped me get rid of the malformed patch error.
Had to patch manually nevertheless :-/

Well, that's obvious.
I've got a good set of screwdrivers, a binocular loupe and the wit to be curious.

Is is hard to disassemble the device? Is the battery located in the very last and hardest to reach corner? Can you provide me an exploded view so I can see where to go to?

Oops, forgot about this thread. Nevertheless, thanks for replaying.

Just being curious: Warranty is over for sure - is it difficult to replace the battery on my own? I'm not too bad at soldering

The work around of that problem can be disabling the filesystem check during the bootup, and rescheduling it after the NTP server will synchronize the system clock .

Hi, I got a FitPC2i from the first batch (which includes that SATA bug) and happened to stumble upon a weird bug: My FitPC crashed somehow (I use it as a mailserver and stuff, running 24/7), and after restarting it, it failed to boot up into standard init level (Ubuntu Linux 10.04). When investigati...

Which revision of FitPC2 do you have?
Mine is from pilot batch which has a hardware fault that can only be worked around, but I need to patch kernel source...

Hi all,
did anyone test the upgrade to 12.04.1 which has been released today?
I'm a bit unsure about doing it, because I have a FitPC2 from the first batch which required a patch to the SATA driver in order to be able to access the harddisk I put into the machine.

Any hints anyone?

Hi Denis, took me a while to try and apply the patch to the latest sources in precise repos, but my patch program keeps complaining that the patch you posted was malformed. I invoked patch with this command: patch --dry-run -F 10 -i ../../pata_sch-for-fitpc2i-rev1.1.patch patch: **** malformed patch...

Thanks a lot
