Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v52 in Extras
 
Yesterday i flashed n900 n installed cssu-testing and cssu-thumb.
And back in the day i used to install power kernel after these 2 but this time i noticed that there was a power kernel
for cssu (thumb version) in the packages too. So im confused , what to install? Power kernel or power kernel for
cssu(thumb).

You know about a kernel I have never heard of. There is just kernel-power AFAIK and no thumb version. K-P52 has the thumb2 patch applied so that apps in the thumb repo work.

There is also a package called
Linux Kernel for Community SSU(boot image for uboot and multiboot)
just like Linux kernel for power user(boot image for uboot) in the application manager.

I think this might be the something-something-cssu3 kernel, the one that is partially based on older release of kp, but with less features (mainly overclocking and thumb2 patches)... I think it was created as a very early preparation stage for future possible kernel updates via CSSU. Either way, go for power kernel, it's newer, better, has more stuff compiled in and if you used kernel power before, it'll better suit your use cases ;)

i have posted this in a similar thread but no reply. am new to the community and its actually my first post here. (1) i messed up my phone so i reflashed, 2) updated to T8.2 (3) following a guide here, i installed (with FAM), u-boot with kernel 2.6.28-omap1; linux kernel for power user v52; linux kernel for power user boot image for u-boot; linux kernel for power user settings and overclock (4) type in xterm: u-boot-update-bootmenu (5) restarted the phone and slide out keyboard, u-boot came up, but after selecting power kernel in bootmenu, it said 'starrting kernel' and after sometime phone went off.

So pls i need a simple step by step guide on how to make u-boot work with power kernel v52, and nitdroid,

Am tired of flashing the kernel as after following some guide and installing power kernel and u-boot, either my phone doesn't boot again or will boot straight to power kernel without u-boot.

Did you install anything except packages you already mentioned? I'm almost sure that the actions you are talking about are being done by a lot of users often without any problems. I've done it myself three times. So If there is really some problem it will cause a lot of complaints soon. And if there are no problems with the packages I suggest you re-check all your actions. Maybe try installing everything from command-line instead of FAM.

Please read the wiki and respective threads' first posts more carefully and not skim through anything. What part of the already-available instructions isn't clear for you?
But maybe you should just ignore them and wait a little bit more, the complaints started: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=84829&page=174 (not 100% reproducible and no clue what's the reason yet.)
