Default [SOLVED] apt-get causes Atrix to reboot [webtop2sd + WebtopScripts]

Hello !

I recently rooted my Atrix, and successfully installed & used webtop2sd.
Then I used WebtopScripts in order to fix apt-get dependancies and be able to install other software (openoffice.org for example).

However, everytime I am trying to use "apt-get" the phone reboots as soon as apt-get starts downloading some packages.
It's the only case I found till now which causes the phone to reboot immediately.

I manually downloaded (with wget) some .deb packages, installed them with dpkg and it worked properly !

Did anybody faced that same issue ?

I am currently runing the stock Orange FR ROM (45.31.11.MB860.Orange.en.FR). with webtop WT-1.2.0-133_50.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS : I confirm that I am correctly using webtop2sd (meaning on the diagnostic tab I properly see the partition, and I also checked the mount points of /osh). My /osh filesystem is 4GB (with 2.9 GB free).

If you need more detail/outputs, just ask me.

Thank you !

Default Problem solved !

Finally I have been able to solve that weird problem.

Actually, it all came from I/O errors on the SDCard.
I have been able to detect that by checking "dmesg" just after launching "apt-get" and I've been able to see some ext3fs errors just before the phone reboots.

So I finally understood what happened : the files that were being downloaded to the apt-get cache directory were located on some "bad blocks" of the sdcard.

In order to solve that, I restarted on my original webtop (which has lxterminal) and I zero-ed the partition of webtop2sd with dd and then formated it with mkfs.ext3.

After that I reinstalled the webtop2sd and restarted everything and now it's working perfectly !
