of course would like to help you. But what is your intention? There are a few installers flying around. I got it years ago with the autoinstaller from repos (very old nit version 0.0.8?). Installs only on SD. Ammyt made another (in his thread) or better two. Able to install on eMMC (sure: on /home/and, guess: also on dedicated partition), but I never checked that. Furthermore there needs to be made some tweaks to nit to be able to boot via u-boot (see above forum link). A "default default" install will not work (someone else confirms this, please?) So it could be possible to check the default locations for nit files and create bootmenu.item. Is that what you think of? |

Enabling extras-devel and running apt-get upgrade wanted to upgrade besides kp52 packages also: file; libmagic1; gstreamer0.10-maemo-xiph. Are they dependencies of kp52(I guess not)? If not, why are they offered to upgrade as HAM shows no upgrades when extras-devel is enabled? Is it safe to upgrade also these packages? |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
I am using multiboot, and upgraded to Power52 once i saw it in the repos. I however see that it is uboot only. I am no longer running nitdroid, but would like to use power52 (no option shows in multiboot) and the previous kernels do not load. so i ask for resources that may guide me through either removing multiboot and installing uboot, or how to get the current power kernel working. any help is appreciated!
thanks |

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Didn't see a thread on 52, but installed it on my new n900. (First one would not recognize sim card anymore, and used various kernel-power versions with no problem). I noticed the camera would not work, the notification led would not work, nor the keyboard lights. I did an apt-get for the fcam drivers, but no effect.
I installed the original kernel, and the camera and led would work, but not the keyboard. I tried to install an earlier version of kernel-power, but it would not download. Installed v52 again, and same result. Installed the original again, now I am stuck in a reboot loop. I am also getting this from the flasher: Suitalble USB device not found, waiting Any help would be appreciated. |

Are there any problem for those who use bootmenu with backupmenu? In general, what I cannot understand is the question about flashing and the necessity to have this strange bootloading system: are there any place where to find a complete tutorial about nolo, bootmenu, multiboot, U-boot and fiasco images, also in relation to kernel power and other OSs? Thanks in advance pkz |

1. *NOLO* is the boot loader, which loads whatever kernel is installed in the kernel partition. 2. *kernel* loads and runs whatever it's been given as an init parameter. standard (on Maemo) is /sbin/preinit 3. *preinit* intializes various stuff about your N900 and then runs init (upstart) 4. *upstart* starts system services, X11 and the desktop. *** U-Boot Now if you install U-Boot it replaces *kernel*, so that NOLO passes control to U-Boot, which itself loads a kernel. If that kernel is a Maemo kernel (stock, power kernel), then that kernel loads preinit, etc. Meaning: U-Boot replaces step 2, but the kernel loaded by U-Boot normally (if Maemo) jumps to step 3, so all is OK. *** Bootmenu Bootmenu is run by preinit, so that it runs between steps 3 and 4, let's call it 3.5. It is thus entirely independent of U-Boot and whatever kernel you have. *** Backupmenu Backupmenu is like Bootmenu. It is actually (normally) run from Bootmenu, so it kind of replaces step 4. *** Multiboot Multiboot replaces /sbin/preinit (step 3), so that it shows a menu similar to Bootmenu. The trick here is that when you select a kernel, it FLASHES that kernel, so that your selected kernel replaces STEP 2. If you remember a few lines ago U-Boot ALSO REPLACES THE KERNEL. If you do the math you'll notice that if you have U-Boot *and* Multiboot the next time you select a kernel in Multiboot it will replace U-Boot, so U-Boot is gone completely from your device. This is a common problem amongst the people who (still) don't know how the N900 and Maemo work. *** Flashing Your N900 has various partitions. For all practical matters you have: disk 1: partition 1: kernel partition 2: root file system (/) (NOLO and other partitions are also there, but you don't care). disk 2: partition 1: /home partition 2: Mydocs (swap is also there but you don't care) If you flash the ROOTFS aka FIASCO aka COMBINED image you are basically replacing "disk 1", i.e. you get the stock kernel and a new root file system. Your /home and your Mydocs are not touched. If you flash the eMMC aka VANILLA you get a new /home and Mydocs. * NOTE (added after Pali's comment -- Thanks) /opt is a symlink to /home/opt, meaning that if you flash the eMMC/VANILLA image *only* your /opt folder will be empty, which will likely make Maemo unbootable. (actually should not happen, unless something actually requires /opt to be there. But yes, knowing Maemo, there is 100% something critical-essential stored in /opt). * Note that you can choose to only flash the kernel (i.e. without touching the rootfs). This is a way of e.g. fixing a fvcked up U-boot configuration. I hope this makes everything a bit clearer! |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
@reinob: nice info for beginers. one important note: /opt (which is basicly part of / rootfs) is stored on "disk 2", so flashing only eMMC/VANILLA will make maemo5 broken.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Pali, apt-get updare/upgrade doesn't give any kp52-related update feedback. I use cssu thumb (latest) and kernel 51r1
|
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
@pali: thanks again, yes I'm using the fanoush thing as you mentioned, so in theory KP52 should be correctly managed!
@reinob: great explanation! Now everything is much clearer; I have few questions though: Quote:

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
in above very very simple example "disk 1" is internal onenand memory. you can see layout of it in file /proc/mtd

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
I don't have multi-boot , uboot or nitroidon on my N900, so can I assume that upgrading to KP52 should have less problem?

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Guys quick question what is the command for kernel power 51 to install like apt-get install kernel.....
Ive forgotten and its not in the ham list under devel for some reason? |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel

if you really want v51, I'd do it using dpkg. Otherwise something like: # apt-get install kernel-power-flasher=1:2.6.28-10power51 should do the trick. |

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Not to mention, that correct version to install now is kp52 ;) Pali declared it stable ages ago, just wasn't able to upload it into broken repos.
BTW, Pali, what now stops you from adding kp52 to repos? /Estel |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
its in develfor about a week

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. |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
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.

Anyone else having boot problems with kp52?
In my case I have CSSU-thumb, u-boot and ARCH, and I installed kernel power 52 bootimg. u-boot updates fine, kp52 loads but the device reboots after some 20s. |

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
please could someone upload the bootmenu.img folder of the kp52(u-boot) and boot file from emmc ,(generated by u-boot)HELP

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but how can I get those missing modules? And where do I put them... argh it's been a while since I've used the N900 lol...
I've tried reinstalling kernel-power using apt-get but I still get those errors everytime I load the injection drivers.. Code:
/home/user/MyDocs # sh packet-injection.sh load |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Ignore above 4 error lines. Eveyrthing is OK and your packet injection modules were loaded. packet-injection.sh first unload all wifi modules (also packet injection) and then load packet injection modules. It also try to unload packet injection modules, but if they are not loade it write above error. Just ignore it.

enable extras-devel repo, update catalogues and you will see kp52 update
