Here is an diablo one that does the same thing as fanoush's kernel but in a different manner:
http://www.ageofikon.info/zImage-qwe...337-qwertyp!mp

Only thing is you have to change the speed manually, from lardman's dsp-sbc release notes:

Then you can do this to make the ARM run at 400MHz while the DSP task is running at 133MHz: "echo 0 > /sys/power/op_dsp" To go back to the default (ARM at 330MHz while DSP running at 220MHz) do this: "echo 1 > /sys/power/op_dsp"
Although, those are safe frequencies in that kernel. To specify your own frequencies, it involves changes to n800-dvfs.c in the kernel source and a kernel recompile. I really wouldn't recommend it. Come think of it, I don't know if it's even possible for the processor to run overclocked.

From Igor from the -developers posting fanoush linked to:

Depending on many conditions, it might or might not work, however as
long as you don't crank up the voltage, there is no risk of damaging the
silicon.

HOWEVER (!) corruption in the DSP execution path might lead to
unpredictable results, including bricking the unit (to that point that
cold flashing is required). Overclocking the DSP only should not so
easily cause damage but it's not really a black and white situation.
Also you might have to play with the synchronizer.

Qwerty12 or anyone who knows,

Two questions on your custom Kernel?

1) Does this custom Kernel allow dual boot?

2) Is there any feedback when you run the command "echo 0 > /sys/power/op_dsp"? If I run the command "cat /proc/cpuinfo" how do I know what the DSP versus CPU is set at?

Thanks in advance.
