I hope you DO have an mp-fremantle package installed.. isn't it the Maemo 5 meta package??
I've noticed the name of the package changes between Maemo variations.. On the UK 203 variation it is:
mp-fremantle-203-pr
whereas on the global version it seems to be:
mp-fremantle-generic-pr
but either way, there should be a mp-fremantle-something-pr package, I believe
Gordonshowers: Glad to help out!
Yes, but some people have installed updated/modified versions of some of the core packages. This will force a removal of the mp-fremantle-??-pr package, as it's dependencies are no longer met. There is a warning, but without knowing what the package is, a lot of people have carried on. When the next firmware update is released, you'll see them all asking why they don't see the OTA update.
If they've scrubbed the main meta package, accurately replacing the version info would seem impossible?!
But for those who haven't.. and those using the non-generic variant, it would be good to use the right version..
apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-generic-pr on a non-generic variant won't be healthy..

I did a uname -a command, and got:
Nokia-N900-42-11:~# uname -a
Linux Nokia-N900-42-11 2.6.28.10maemo-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Tue Apr 13 10:48:47 EEST 2010 armv7l unknown

What is supposed to be for the unknown value displayed above. I ran
apt-get --reinstall install mp-fremantle-002-pr
successfully, but I still don't know why I still have an unknow value.
Here is the output from osso-product-info

osso-product-info is included in the phone's environment variables.. running that command, and indeed reinstalling the package can't change them.. since they were set at boot time..

reboot and you should be fine..
... I think..
I did reboot the device after running the install mp-fremantle-002-pr and ran osso-product-info, but I still get the unknown as displayed below:

Any help please.
The unknown variable is the device's processor. How do I install the processor value?
Thanks.
But now the version info in the settings about screen shows "unknown".
This may be unrelated, see bug 8148 for another instance of it. If you figure out what caused it in your case, a comment in bug 8700 would be very welcome.

Can someone with the stock version installed or unmodified N900, do "uname -a" command on xterm for me please?

Ignore the gray part, that's just the current hostname of the device.
Yours is obviously newer. If you have the original kernel in /boot/zImage-2.6.28-20094803.3+0m5.fiasco you can just run /var/lib/dpkg/info/kernel-flasher.postinst to install it, and reboot. Otherwise install package kernel=2.6.28-20094803.3+0m5 first.
