*EDIT* Nevermind. Downloaded the new v42 deb, extracted the fiasco image, extracted the kernel, copied to N900, setup a new multiboot item. Reboot, looks like I'm up and running on v42 kernel.

how do you do tat?? please help....

Enable Extras-Testing in the App Manager and you can install kernel-power42 click-click.

can you give us a little more info here? Id love to copy what you did but i/we might need a little guidance to get there, ive updated to 42 and run the multiboot --reinstall but from what you say more actionsa re needed to get this boot option going....if you could be so kind...

getting the "Can't flash kernel, required files not found
guru meditation #00000025, 62017712" issue

not wanting to cross post but i listed what i did step by step here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...669#post868669

Edit: (fixed)
as pointed out below:

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

all fixed and booting, repoting right with kernel-config show

embarasingly simple :rolleyes: i guess the new flasher wasnt there to be run - lots of new kernel power based bits and bobs came down thankyou! . . .sorry

massive thanks to titan for updating it to include the pr1.3 updates :D

Re: Overclock the N900?

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

power42 works fine :)

Thanks Titan !

+ using Swappolube

N900 unstoppable ;)

Re: Overclock the N900?

1) Download kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo42_armel.deb from the repository.
2) Extract the fiasco image (I used 7-zip in windows)
3) Extract the kernel from the fiasco image with the flasher (In windows, flasher-3.5.exe -F name_of_file.fiasco -u)
4) Renamed the resulting zImage file to vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power42
5) Copy this file to /boot/multiboot
6) Copied /etc/multiboot.d/01-Maemo-kernel-power40 to 02-Maemo-kernel-power42
7) Edited the new file to point to the new kernel
8) Reboot.

It`s just stuck with the white led light on and the nokia logo.Battery off, no good, pressing O to boot the default kernel, no good.........already flashing the device as we speak.bummer!

Re: Overclock the N900?

thank you so much titan...

Re: Overclock the N900?

now I have another problem.My windows doesnt recognize the linux partition (the one I did to install Nitdroid).I want to format my sdcard with it`s full capacity (8gb).Windows only recognises 6gb.How do I do this in windows.Even partition magic doesnt recognise the linux partition!

Re: Overclock the N900?

Hi, I upgraded to maemo42 and tried using FCam but got the grey screen and then tried to run builtin camera but got "internal error" msg. Then I shutdown N900, took battery and sim out and tried using the builtin cam after the boot but still it failed with the same message. Anyone else? Now I've reinstalled the stock one.

Re: Overclock the N900?

Yes, none of camera applications work right now with power42
i believe its happened in PR1.2 and Titan fixed it. Probably its happening again now with PR 1.3

Re: Overclock the N900?

now, this is the 2nd time that I`ve bricked my device in a long time....so guys don`t rush to install the new v.4.2 kernel if you have multiboot....

...and the camera don`t work....oh well.

For Nitdroid nuts with multiboot installed, go here, 1st post bottom to fix the red box panic warning and fcam fix too.

OC42 works, maemo works, and of course, nitdroid works :)

how can i fix this if my n900 isn't responding?

i updated kernel power w/o checking here first. :(

is flashing the only resort?

Re: Overclock the N900?

I don't use multiboot but this http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#I...d_installation
might help.

The zImage needed for multiboot and u-boot is provided by kernel-power-bootimg.
I plan to make kernel-power a u-boot image by default in the future.

regarding camera problems: it seems fcam-drivers needs to be recompiled. uninstalling fcam+fcam-drivers makes the camera work for me.

A little to late!.....I`ve already formated everything, but good to know

Re: Overclock the N900?

I've OC'd to 250 900 with default voltage. So far it seems to be the only configuration that plays video without crashing.
I've noticed that my phone spends less time running at 100% CPU than it did on the stock kernel and settings. Can that be? I also seem to be getting MUCH better life out of my battery.

Re: Overclock the N900?

Was this a mistake by the fcam people or was this an inevitable obstacle?

Re: Overclock the N900?

What are the people with nitdroid and neopwn supposed to do? Am I supposed to flash the kernel? I get the error on load in multiboot when starting power42.

thanks. I guess the patches I've just uploaded with power43 should be about the same
(except for UHCI+EHCI modules, which AFAIK do not make sense?).
Now we can start testing USB hostmode with power43 as well.

power43 also contains the u-boot bootloader, so you should be able to boot MeEgo and others OSs with it.

if you have fcamera installed, you need to upgradehttp://n900.tannerlab.com/kernel/fca....7-1_armel.deb

Re: Overclock the N900?

...having "extra-devel" in my cataloges (running PR 1.3) - why do I not "see" any of the updates?

Re: Overclock the N900?

i have installed power 42, did all the steps necessary (unplug, reboot)
i don't have fcam drivers installed
but when trying to load settings (ideal) in xterm
it says load successfull and phone reboots next second
i didn't have previous settings (flashing in osx, 2 weeks ago)
will try power 43 now to see if better
is there any command to see what happened after loading settings?

Re: Overclock the N900?

@titan
I saw a kernel v44 on devel but I don't see any changelogs on garage... is it official?

Re: Overclock the N900?

what??? i just saw kernel power 44!!!! updating now... cross fingers dude...

Re: Overclock the N900?

reinstall multiboot would help with anyone having prob with booting into new kernel power...

i see multiboot is now 0.2.10-1

Re: Overclock the N900?

I updated to v44 and now it gets stuck at the uboot screen saying loading kernel. Anyone with similar issues?

Re: Overclock the N900?

ok... let me boil it down to the essence...

Upgraded to kernel power v44....
also did the upgrade of the fcam driver.... by dpkg -i

first restart... it started with uboot.. then multiboot... but multiboot cant boot up the power kernel cos it has not been change yet...
So restart the phone in stock.. then --reinstall multiboot-kernel-power..

2nd restart... all started well even with the new power kernel v44...
Fcam working too... yee haw..

Thanks to all who have worked hard in this project...
