Does this clear up the issues some of us had with the removable cards going wonky?

Beats me, but I just updated my kernel on the new OS to this one and so far so good.
Seems to be a little speedier with my 4GB SDHC cards too.

i am not sure what the issue is, but when i follow the tutorial cited in a previous post, i have to prepend "sh " to the command, otherwise i get permission denied. i have already chmod'd the file 777, and still get it.

additionally, when the script calls the eraseall and nandwrite scripts, i also get permission denied, even though i chmod'd them 777 as well.

i have run it as user and as root. as i type this i realize my mistake. i have the files on the internal card, and they should be on the internal flash memory, and not on a card. will have to see if that makes a difference.

That _will_ make a difference, the internal flash is mounted with execute privileges, the internal card is not.

I THINK I successfully installed the kernel mod to the latest OS, but I'm a little nervous, because I didn't have to actually run becomeroot. Did I miss something? Is there somewhere I can check to ascertain that the modified kernel is actually installed?

Here's a dumb question: How do I put the N800 into suspend mode without either turning it off completely, or locking the screen and buttons? Or do I have to just wait for it to fall asleep?

I have just done the same thing and bricked (wafered?) my SHDC card. I re-ran the kernel update as root, but the card is still not being mounted and there is no entry for it in /dev. I have tried reading it on my XP machine and although a drive letter is assigned you can't actually do anything.

I have updated the wiki page to include the sudo gainroot instruction.

Re: High Speed (48Mhz) SDHC Kernel available for 4.2007.26-8
 

Why? It is not needed. Flasher does it automatically for you. I have reverted wiki page back. Why to add extra steps that are not needed? Or did it fail for you without 'sudo gairoot'?

Re: High Speed (48Mhz) SDHC Kernel available for 4.2007.26-8
 

A corrupt memory card could be considered a failure, although as the gainroot is included in the script I doubt it was the issue. It just seemed likely at the time and no-one had commented on joelong's posting.

However, I light of my experience, I would recommend people remove their SD cards before updating the kernel.

This problem is absolutely unrelated to kernel flashing procedure. Anyway, adding 'sudo gainroot' to wiki would not solve that and is similar to adding 'Now you should sacrifice black chicken.' step :-)

This looks like 'sacrifice white chicken', but it definitely won't hurt :-)

It may be related to the kernel you are actually running but not to the flashing procedure. Nokia kernel is known to kill some cards sometimes. Search this forum or maemo bugzilla for details. Also Philip's kernel is not that much different and just adds features so same problem can happen with his kernel too, there is no real reason why to think it would be any better.
