If there is, I'd love to hear about it. At least a couple of my CE 5 devices do this: the MintPad and the Delstar DS-700. Fortunately both are suspendable, meaning I don't have to shut them down completely, but I have to save the registry using a registry editor
(I actually use Total Commander and copy HKCR, HKCU, and HKLM as separate .reg files
) so it can be restored in the event the battery runs down.
Where did you get the ROM image?
(There are several versions of nk.nb0, for more than one version of the ARM926 processor.
) What processor name is given in the System applet in the Control Panel?
