linux kernel is under GPLv2 license, so you can redistribute it under GPLv2 without any problem.

But I do not understand what is faster and why you want to do... You can only disorient users which tryting to find *last* kp52.

Hi, I have a problem I can not install kernel-power-modules_2.6.28-10power52_armel.deb because it gives me message "You can not install kernel power modules incompatible application package"

What's going on?

Kernel-power-bootimage v52 is wrongly packed:
it doesn't provide item file for multiboot
it puts image on opt and symlinks (opt is inaccessible on boot)

cssu-thumb users may be supprised if updating to kp52 (kp51 gone kp52 not bootable and failsafe maemo kernel doesn't have thumb support)

Can't confirm. On my device with thumb *and" multiboot, update from kp51r1 went smoothly, image was where it should etc. Can't remember about item file, as I do them by hand, anyway.

Also same problem for me. After installing kp52 there is no option in multiboot for booting kernel power 52. Only old kp51 option which gives guru mediation error.

Sorry if this was discussed, but after I just installed kernel-power v51, I noticed the phone doesn't react on keys or incoming calls/SMS if the processor is fully used by some process (I tried "tar -cvf /home/user/MyDocs/mmc1.tar /media/mmc1/", /media/mmc1 is a 32Gb ext2 partition, if that matters). Just after finishing creating the archive the phone unfreezed and received the SMS, which was sent during archiving. The stock kernel was more desktop friendly (kernel timer frequency too low?).

Edit: overall usability performance seems to be slower... No?

I'm not entirely sure what do you mean by creating tar of microSD content (32GB, as you've said) and where you expect to save such big file (because it is what that command you've mentioned mean).

Nevertheless, problems like this seem to be related to swap problems - try using swap on microSD *only* and search for optimizations related to way swap is used (posted somewhere in easy debian, for example).

Otherwise, kernel on it's own doesn't change your frequencies, especially into lower ranges
