[Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
 

New thread about kernel-power v50 is here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=83118
New thread about development is here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=78371


Kernel-power version v49 is now in Extras-Testing!

In version v49 was new frequency scheme, so everyone who has custom profile (or modified /etc/default/kernel-power) MUST modify them according to new frequencies, i.e to remove 700 and to change 750 to 720. See more on http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...49#post1117649


Update (from old version):
Use Hildon Application Manager or via apt-get

Installation:
In Hildon Application Manager install package: Linux kernel for power user
Or via apt-get package: kernel-power-flasher

Overclock support (optional):
In Hildon Application Manager install package: Linux kernel for power user (settings and overclock)
Or via apt-get package: kernel-power-settings

Multiboot support (optional):
In Hildon Application Manager install packages: Maemo ULTimate BOOTloader and Linux kernel for power user (boot image for multiboot)
Or via apt-get packages: multiboot and kernel-power-bootimg

Uninstallation:
Multiboot and overclock support can be uninstalled via Hildon Application Manager or via apt-get. Uninstalling kernel image is possible only via menu entry "Nokia Kernel".

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 
Seems that nobody is maintaining it. It would be great to have an updated version with the bleeding edge wifi drivers included.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 
If you want a bleeding-edge power kernel, take a look at kernel-bfs. It's power46+BFS+wl1.

Although, I had to tweak my Swappolube settings, enable HWSync and mlock hildon-desktop to make it feel as smooth as CFS.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 
I assume you are refering to v0.46?

I'm sure that it is receiving some attention because it's functionality is an integral part of the h-e-n software, which is being worked on. There are patches on the garage site but, I agree, it's not clear whether or when they're going to get integrated into the kernel itself.

There is a possibility that certain sections will be merged into the CSSU [Someone please confrm/reject this].

Other factors that would reduce development on this, apart from the developers having lives/jobs/families/etc, is that the CSSU is something of a priorty task (AFAICS), then there's Meego and the Meego coding competition, etc, etc...

- all the same, thanks for flagging this up, it's good to find out what's going on from time to time. From my point of view, it would be good to have a development status paragraph in the maemo wiki so it's clear what's being worked on (and what's not). Also, this might allow others to contribute if they knew what could be done to assist.

Edit: Thanks Hurrian. Have you tried this? Please comment on stability/battery drain/anything else you've noticed...

If nobody maintain power kernel I can create new build with these patches (and post here):

+ enable more usbnet modules (usb <--> rj45 chip modules for host mode)

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 
Could you backport some drivers from meego kernel? like de powervr driver with vsync? Sorry if is a stupid question

See this: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=70082
Maybe if I have time I will took at.

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 
@demolition : I had to use the IO Improvement Swappolube tweaks to make it stop locking up and rebooting whenever I use Easy Debian and do a full upgrade.

BTW, is there any way to get the device into noop? Every time I try to change the scheduler, I get permission denied. (even with sudo!)

Re: kernel-power patches/updates
 
So, Titan does not responce to my mails....

As I wrote http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=983930&postcount=5 Now I builded new kernel packages based on power-kernel v46 (without patched wifi driver yet) but due to size limit I cannot uploaded deb packages here.

Does anybody know good upload server?

Why not use mediafire or rapidshare?
