Re: Overclock the N900?
 

How do you load stock, cause I am stuck at the boot screen?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

you got multiboot installed??

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

oh yeah.. i think the multiboot overides the U-boot.. so no more u-boot... unless you remove multiboot i suppose...

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

nop, its just kernel power v44 now I am always stuck at the little penguin ie uboot menu. It says loading kernel at the bottom

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

eh you are in lowyat.net as well right?? kadish...

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Yups :) Problem cant be solved, guess have to reflash :(

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Do we need the uninstall icon in the app menu?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

i got conky ;)
what i meant was to find out what failed (which app conflicts) right after loading settings
coz it restarts straight away so no chance to lookup in conky.
kind of log file?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

same problem here .
I think there might be a command to load V44 kernel ??

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Is the camera fixed in the 44 build? I am not using fcam. The stock Nokia camera-ui program always crashed on the 42 build for me.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Works here... ;)

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

after updating to v44 got stuck at u-boot
did flash and installed only kernel and settings
same happened :(

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Well... I take my thanks back.

Opening the camera shutter, camera-ui starts, immediately says "Operation Failed" and exits. No go.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Ouuch... :/ I had the same problem until installing v44, BUT I'm also using fcam.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

done this with power44 and worked :) many thanks , had reboot loop with multiboot , flashed kernel only to recover maemo. then followed info above (edited download link to 44 from 42) and followed the info. now running power44 with multiboot :) camera ok too but not using fcamera...

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Hm ... I sucessfully installed new kernel (v44), updated fcam-driver and everything works fine :)

However, I am missing "kernel-config", only thingie cmd return is "kernel-power-deinstall".

Am I missing something?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Is kernel-power-settings installed?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I got Nitdroid/multiboot installed. Upgraded to 42 this am, manually fixed the red box panic thing as well as fcam driver. Everything works. Then I upgraded to power44 via app manager. It booted,

1) tux boot 1st
2) rapidly sweeped to multiboot with 3 options, omap1, power44, nitdroid.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Yep- I just got this too. Did everything like it said to do but ended up like this. Will leave it on while I got to the shops and see if it is just taking ages to load something.

You can either wait for it to start loading a kernel or press within 3 seconds to get a command prompt.

Anyone else know how to get to multiboot from that command prompt or is this a definite reflash scenario?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

The standard camera app is not working for me anymore with version 44. :(

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Same for me. Although some people claim it works for them....

I have uninstalled all fcamera and fcam-drivers packages. Still doesn't work.

I am also using *stock* clocks and voltage settings.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

can you implement the neopwn modules in this kernel?

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

upgraded from 42 to 44 and after both i'm getting the operation failed when i open the main camera.

Via app manager i uninstalled BlessN900 and then reinstalled. On reinstalled it gives notification it's re installing the fcam drivers.

Neverless after this i'm still getting operation failed on opening the main camera :mad

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Yep. I also tried to install fcamera and the new fcam-drivers deb. fcamera fails to show me the camera output. Hitting "Quit" does nothing. I have to hard kill the app to close it. (power button, end current process)

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Ok it's been left over an hour an not done anything. Run noloboot is what it does by default when it gets stuck at starting kernel I think, and the same happens when going to command prompt and typing it in. Will see if I can move some files around or something when plugged into the pc, but other than that it's a reflash I think.

Ohwell, cookies crumble and all that. the only thing I'll really miss is a few bookmarks I mad, which I can probably find again anyway:)

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I could be wrong, but I think those are wanted in case someone plugs in a powered USB port replicator. While we don't have chipsets in the device for those, a port replicator may have them, and we'd need those drivers to talk to the device?

Thanks for all the work you've put into this, and for integrating most of the sub-project kernels into yours. This really brings those projects into a single happy family, which this community sorely needs at times. :)

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

The people that have had problems with the stock camera:

Uninstall all fcam and fcamera and any other camera app.

Then reboot.

My stock camera works again. I just hadn't rebooted after uninstalling them.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Thanks, that was missing. Eh ...

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

For those who want a stable kernel: please stick to version power42 from extras-testing.
testing means: supposed to be stable. please test and vote (see http://wiki.maemo.org/Help_testing_software ) on http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....6.28-maemo42/

version >= power43 from extras-devel are highly experimental and include USB hostmode patches and u-boot. Do not install them unless you exactly know what you're doing.
If it doesn't boot, crashes or shows other issues (no audio etc) please report your configuration (OC, multiboot/Nitdroid/Meego etc installed?)
to Matan http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=869677&postcount=8
If your device got stuck in a reboot loop, flash the stock kernel with
and to downgrade to power42
If you have fcamera and any version >= power40 installed, you also need the updated fcam-drivers.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Looks like exactly what i did but i get very different behaviour . .

As requested here my setup and what happened:

Updated to 42 last night, had to upgrade flasher etc to get around red bootscreen kernel package. All fine...

Had boot options (all working) for:
- Powerkernel42
- Stock Maemo pr1.3
- nitdroid via mmc

Upgraded just now to 44 via app manager (facepalm), rebooted, now stuck at 'Starting Kernel' in uboot, no multiboot and i dont think there are any commands that get me booted into anything.

Time for a proper reflash by the looks :(... i can just reflash the kernel so i hear?

Note: might be worth adding a note to the details that load in package manager that this will nuke multiboot . . . i should have checked this thread first tho tbh.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#Deinstallation

This has been covered many times in multiple threads...search is your friend.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

yeah found it and working on it now thanks anyway tho,

EDIT: anyone else considering a full reflash after getting this issue try this first, did this form Xp and flashing just the kernel took less than 10 mins, back to multiboot options for nitdroid, stock and kernel power, tho power obviously wont boot, going back to 42 for now.

just took a while to find the xp kernel only option: (global version)
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Just a heads up. The fcam drivers compiled against the 42 kernel suffer from the same haloing effect the previous ones did. The standard drivers from the official fcam garage project did not suffer from this issue.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Upgraded to power 44
Running smooth, camera working fine except Fcamera was holding CPU on 100% constantly without using it. By uninstalling it CPU was stabilize. Other than that everything fine.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

No audio, happened to me only briefly. I reboot, its gone. I am now OC to 900 and listening to media player. Fcam did not work after power42, installed patch, it worked. I then upgraded to power44, Fcam still works.

Thanks for the great work, titan.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

same to..
but differ story..

all work fine before i disable boot screen nokia Hand
or edit etc/pmconfig to enable SmartReflex & OC max freq to 900.
both the two i did before that.. than restart. & the screen said loading kernel... all day...

-=edit=-
found the solution at
thanks friends:D

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

I can't even get to the reflashing mode. Trying the proper reflashing method for a dozen times. Still the "starting kernel ..." greetings.
I am aware of the risk of updating and I know reflashing is the last resort. But what do I do if reflashing doesn't even working at all?
I am not complaining. Just need the way back to normal. Once this is solved I will proceed very cautiously from now on... say wait long enough to see no serious issue reported by the brave.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

Updated from 40 to 44. No BlessN900, no FCam installed, no alternative OS.

Everything is working (standard camera included).

Re: Overclock the N900?
 

did u hold the "U" key before plug the USB?
that will enable Flashing Mode on N900.
