I think you may be using V24 from Extras.

What do you get when you type
Code:

uname -r
in X-Terminal?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
If you don't have maemo Extras among your catalogs, you can manually add it:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras

If you don't have maemo Extras devel among your catalogs, you can manually add it:

Application manager --> Application catalogs --> New
Catalog name: maemo extras-devel
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

no no it's like this only
Code:

but the error code was in red at the bottom corner! i think now i solved it! i did not add fremantle in the Distribution field!

but it was working previously without the need to do that! :)

Thanks neotalk and Sash!

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
Hmm when i try the ideal i get unexpected reboot. I have been using Lehtos 950mhz for 3 months now.
What's the next step if ideal doesn't work?

And are Lehtos kernels working for PR1.2 btw?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
sorry to repost but can anyone help me this------
here is my earlier post:

Hi folks,

Am a bit of a newbie when it comes to overclocking but i have have installed V28. Everything looks ok apart from when i reboot it goes back to orriginal settings. I have done the following:

installed pr 1.2 then installed the Enhanced Linux kernel for power users v2.6.28-maemo24.

then i installed rootsh opened x terminal and typed:

/usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal

then i typed:

rm -f /etc/default/kernel-power
ln -s /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal /etc/default/kernel-power



all appeared to work but upon reboot it went back to 600mhz


i then tried the same as above and then also tried this command:

/usr/sbin/kernel-load

again all looked ok but on reboot it has gone back to 600mhz instead of the ideal 850mhz

can anyone help me please?

Hey Titan, updated firmware via flasher and upgraded to v37 (thank you gabby) and all is working fine here. Thank you for your hard work!

I tried this from jakimans guide:
sudo gainroot
kernel-config load ideal
kernel-config limits 250 750

Only thing i get is kernel-confic: not found

Im not sure if kernel-config works with lehtos kernel - actually, I think it only works with titans kernel ... package kernel-power ...

I installed package kernel-power-settings, and after restart, kernel-config works ...

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
When I upgraded from v34 to v37 using HAM, after reboot my phone would no longer boot up and I had to reflash the stock PR1.2 kernel. Just a heads up in case anyone else has similar problems.

tissot 2010-05-26 13:06

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
Can anybody help. I have been trying to get this work for the past 5 hours.

I got v37 installed.
When i try.
/usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal

I get unexpected reboot.

When i try lv, ulv or xlv i get command is deprecated but it still says it succussfully loaded it. Conky is showing the normal max 600mhz.
Am i getting something wrong here?

I had zero reboot or problem using 1ghz lehto kernel and 3 months of using Lehtos 950mhz.

Hi, how do you know what version of the kernel you are running?

I ran kernel-config load lv then kernel-config limits 250 900 and its running great, but wouldn't mind knowing the version i've got.

I've reflashed my phone both rootfs and eMMC using the latest PR 1.2 images. Brand spanking new. =)
Now I've installed most of apps that I use and also am running v37 without any issues @ 1Ghz (ideal).

All looking good so far. Awesome work titan!

Reboots the sec i put it in. Says after restarting that N900 got unexpected reboot and the custom kernel is erased.

How would the code be if i example wanted max 900mhz?

Does the ideal got something different to Lehtos custom kernels?

if you want to set your max freq to 900mhz

Code:

/usr/sbin/kernel-config limits - 900
if you want @1GHz:

Code:

/usr/sbin/kernel-config limits - 1000
if you desire to set both min and max freq in one code (ei 500, 1000 [ideal] settings)

Code:

/usr/sbin/kernel-config load ideal
/usr/sbin/kernel-config limits 500 1000

I am not so sure about Lehto's custom kernels,

what i know is that, Lehto's are hard coded (just replace the max 600mhz with a higher freq), maybe titan and lehto's ideal kernels have the same voltages but differ in terms of customization. (please correct me if i am mistaking)

Thanks alot. Working great.
Thought how do i get the overclock last now? As far as i have understood using above will get back to default after rebooting like it does to me.

Spr33 2010-05-26 15:01

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
Just making sure what I've gathered is correct:

The voltages should reset every time you reboot, correct?

Also, is it out of the ordinary that my lower limit is set to 125 yet in conky, I never see it dip below 250?

AFAIK: to permanently install the settings

Code:

rm -f /etc/default/kernel-power
cp /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt  /etc/default/kernel-power
/usr/sbin/kernel-load

for more info, visit the wiki

that is correct, after reboot, your min freq is 125mhz (coz that is the min freq available) but the default settings scale to a min freq of 250mhz (because in default, 125mhz is set up as an avoid freq, and in stock, the min freq is 250mhz)

so even you have 125mhz freq available, your lowest freq in default is still 250mhz (except if you change the avoid freq settings

hi titan!

I updated via OTA! and running kernel 37
with xlv 250 - 950... smooth as ever;;; :)

hey, could you point me step by step how you oc'd your n900 to 950mhz permanently?

i was running on 250-950mhz before i updated via OTA, sadly i forgot how i did it.. hehe.

enable the extras-testing devel repos and

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power kernel-power-modules kernel-power-flasher

you'll be running on your previous settings!

if you have trouble just follow the steps from here!

Kernel Power

and

here...

diimaan 2010-05-26 19:30

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
as you updated via OTA, your settings will be there intact! you just need to re-install! and reboot!

diimaan 2010-05-26 19:50

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
sorry i have no experience with lehto's kernels! hope someone will post a help for you soon...

Swirnoff 2010-05-26 19:55

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
I tried making new threads on the issue but nobody seems to reply.
Stayed up all night to get this resolved.
Maybe it make more sense posting here...

My question is:

Someone said that I have to uninstall power kernel first if I use the OTC update to PR1.2.

So I don't have to do that if I use NSU?

What about the disclaimer of power kernel that says that NSU "become broken"?

So now I'm trying to uninstall the overclocked power kernel so I could update to PR1.2 OTC.

And I'm following the deinstallation instructions here

But when I enter the command apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel kernel-flasher

I get this error: E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/

I tryed uninstalling a bunch of apps to free up room but still no luck

Please someone help me. This is very frustrating.

diimaan 2010-05-26 20:00

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
there is no need to de-install if you just want to update through OTA!
i think you meant OTA and not OTC!

if it is the case, just do the update via OTA, no deinstallation etc!
just reinstall the kernel once you updated via OTA!

titan 2010-05-26 20:01

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
We already learned that OTA upgrades don't require uninstalling the kernel first.
For NSU it is also not necessary.
Where did you find a disclaimer about power kernel breaking NSU ???

getting enough free space for the upgrade may be quite difficult,
especially for non-experts. try the NSU or reflashing instead.

I updated via OTA to PR1.2 and upgraded to v37 after that. To Make the power-kernel work i just had to do a reboot and then type the to commands in xterm and i was up and running like before the PR update :D

The commands:

/usr/sbin/kernel-config load ideal

/usr/sbin/kernel-config limits 500 1000

Nice work Titan ;)

Swirnoff 2010-05-26 20:24

Re: Overclock the N900?
 
WOW thanks for quick replies
I spent all night looking for help with deinstallation

the disclaimer section 2
I was afraid to connect the N900 to NSU because of that (didnt want bricking). I'm a bit of a noob as you can tell :)

I can't believe I've a headache right now for nothing! So relieved...

You can actually just type kernel-config load ideal with v37 (just omit /usr/sbin/).

It doesn't work for me without the /usr/sbin/...
In xterm:
~ $ kernel-config load ideal
-sh: kernel-config: not found
but with the /usr/sbin/* infront it loads ;)
