'usually' sounds atypical here:

http://bugs.openembedded.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4354
but also:
http://bugs.openembedded.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4324

http://bugs.openembedded.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4362

So a whole slew of flash-related issues, all based on mtd-related code.
My ipaq ran win2003 mobile fine.
