Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

n900 says incompatible package : how do I install this properly?

also had right click and save-as to download as microb and me laptop both opened as txt documents which is weird.

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

Yowza. That's not right..
I think both are caused by my web serving giving no MIME type for the deb files. My bad. Give me a few minutes hehe

Will post when I've verified as fixed.

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

Well looks like I may have gotten myself fubared with this release.
Boot loop.


EDIT: Thank God for multiboot. Managed to boot into the stock kernel. Looks like you might need to check your files again CC. Just as a FYI I installed the 4 kernel-power debs and added a boot option to multiboot for the new kernel. Could the problem be the kernel image having the .fiasco extension and the modules dir not.

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

I have not used multiboot.

The install process should be identical to the kernel-power install process. I did not modify that part of debian control files.

At least in theory. I will check :-)

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

I will be honest I have had nothing but damn issues with multiboot since the new version came out. An trying to tweak it now to see what I can do.

Ok have yet to be able to get this to boot. Sorry CC - will have to try it at some later date when its multiboot compat. Right now I have to work on getting back to a stable maemo env.

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

No worries at all!
I'll try out multiboot to see where the packages went wrong.

Sounds like a nice idea: Rapidly switch between kernels. Would make comparison tests easier!

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

Installed and working on my test N900.

Will ensure validity of packages and then start benchmarking everything.

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

Installed and works fine so far ...

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

I tested the equivalent of the latest kernel-power + BFS (used titan's ideal and default configuration).

I found that video on youtube always flickers if you use firefox mobile. Also the top opera status bar and the buttons located in the bottom left and right in opera start to flicker if you open a location.

Re: BFS for the power kernel
 

Interesting.
I have read that using the BFS scheduler can exacerbate race conditions. I thought it was in the BFS FAQ but now I can't locate where i read this. *shrug*

I'll try firefox and opera out.

While reading the BFS FAQ I noticed that Con recommends a different kernel timer config than this kernel is built with. That might also effect this.
