Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released

Are there any easy way to install U-boot with power46 kernel?

Install power45. It's basically the same as 46 but with u-boot included.

Like said, go with v45. v46 only removes u-boot and adds capability for BT mice.

Edit: I seem not to be able to edit my settings as "kernel-config" is not found. Do I have to reinstall the power modules or something?

There is no problem between u-boot an multiboot. No program knows or cares if what is flashed in the kernel partition on the NAND is a linux kernel, or a u-boot that loads a linux kernel.

The problem that was with power44 was that the combination of NOLO and u-boot on HW revision 2204 leaves the system in a state that causes the kernel to hang at start.

The device can charge (slowly) if no kernel is running at all - there is a hardware component for that.

How do you know when it starts charging?

Yes, that is exactly what happened with my device, then I got a external charger and left for 2 hours, if we follow the instructions carefully after installed Flasher and have saved the FW image, just the comand and plug N900 , less than 2 minutes and the N900 is Up again.

@cincibluer6: Another thing, do you know if that bluetooth for mouse support in v46 means that I will not need to install those bluetooth HID scripts at all in order to get a bt mouse (or usb) working?
What does it mean?

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released

@Larswad
I honestly don't know. I haven't even made the move for BT mouse on my laptop, let alone the N900. Might want to check the wiki or the main kernel-power thread for that.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released

Is anyone else having a "operation failed" appear every time they try to load the camera with Power Kernel V45 or V46 installed?

Reinstall the kernel-power-settings package.

There are a couple of BT mice that do not work with n900 because a bug in kernel, this is fixed in v46. It has nothing to do with bt-hid-scripts, despite the fact that more BT mice can be used with it.
