Hi. Em, help.

Is there any reason in the world for the restore procedure to say that the checksums don't match?

I tried a restore today (weird, weird stuff happens to me, with GSM modem being taken offline) and the rootfs said the checksums don't match. Optfs apparently was fine.

Is there any reason (other than a bad block on flash) this wold happen? It's _possible_ that I used a mismatched version, my backup was on the 19th and you changed versions on the 18th or 19th, so I'm not sure what version they were.

So, I guess questions:
a) If mismatching versions between BackupMenu and images, is it possible to get a checksum error and end up with an unbootable device?

b) Does a bad block do that?

c) How do I check rootfs for bad blocks? The menu includes a "fsck all partitions" but it takes way too little to be a "surface" check. Finished in 3 seconds tops.

Hepl!

(what do you know, a sense of humor with an unbootable device)

ETA: It booted.

Re-flashed rootfs to default. Restored optfs with BackupMenu.
