Shouldn't it be 1:2.6.28-10power51r1? Wasn't v51 somehow broken?

what is the command for kernel power 51 to install like apt-get install ..

Temporary link for v52 until somebody fix Extras-Devel repository & autobuilder:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=288

Kernel-power version v51 (r1) is now in Extras-Devel!

Update (from old version):
Use Hildon Application Manager or via apt-get

Installation:
From Hildon Application Manager install package: Linux kernel for power user
Or via apt-get package: kernel-power-flasher

Overclock support (optional):
From Hildon Application Manager install package: Linux kernel for power user (settings and overclock)
Or via apt-get package: kernel-power-settings

Multiboot support (optional):
In Hildon Application Manager install packages: Maemo ULTimate BOOTloader and Linux kernel for power user (boot image for multiboot)
Or via apt-get packages: multiboot and kernel-power-bootimg

U-Boot support (optional):
First from U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu thread install needed U-Boot packages. Then in Hildon Application Manager install package Linux kernel for power user (boot image for multiboot)
Or via apt-get package kernel-power-bootimg

Packet injection wifi driver:
Kernel modules are already included and installed in /opt/packet-injection-modules/2.6.28.10-power51/
To load/unload it use shell script: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pal...t-injection.sh

New USB host mode:
This kernel is needed for new usb host mode from this thread.

Uninstallation:
Multiboot and overclock support can be uninstalled via Hildon Application Manager or via apt-get. Uninstalling kernel image is possible only via menu entry "Nokia Kernel". NEVER UNINSTALL KERNEL POWER PACKAGES!!! IT CAN MAKE YOUR DEVICE UNBOOTABLE.

For questions about development, bugs, etc... write to thread

Here is also information how to compile kernel, send patches, ...

BTW, Pali, what now stops you from adding kp52 to repos?

Is the update of the kernel a must or is this something for power users??? Its my first year of using the n900 and i try to make clear what is good for the phone and what not.

There's no need for you to install kernel-power, unless you need it for some reason. The kernel includes some bug fixes w.r.t. stock kernel, but as far as I can tell they don't concern major bugs (= the N900 runs still OK with the stock kernel

For many people the main reason is overclocking/undervolting.
Another common reason to use KP (only version 51r1 or 52) is that it allows you to run CSSU-thumb.

Besides that, it may be relevant if you e.g. use USB host-mode and/or need kernel modules that don't come with the stock kernel.

since latest KP52 is not working with multi-boot (guru mediation error). can anyone guide me to how to use KP52 with u-boot ? I don't have Nitdroid installed and i also don't have any plans to use it. I only use backupmenu its a must have for me. Can anyone help me to create boot entries for both of them ? Thanks.
