Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
Guys, I've had it and cpugreqUI before 1.3.
Forgot the sequence how to install it now...remember there was a catch somewhere.
What do I do to get a new one?

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
could some one pass me the commands how to use the usb host mode -_-

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
debernardis: Yes, the hostmode-gui is in the extras-devel for sure (0.2-3). But dragging in that one with aptitude will also give me the dependencies right? I mean, guess it's ok with i2c-tools, but the "kernel-hostmode", "kernel-hostmode-modules" and "kernel-hostmode-flasher" is something I DON'T want to overwrite titans kernel.

Am I right that I should download this somewhere instead and then just use dpkg -i to install instead? Or....hmm?

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
i rebooted after updating kernel-power. and im stuck with "starting kernel" message in U-boot.

how can i fix it? anyone pls? TIA

shockgiga: If so, you need to reflash with flasher3-5. This has been mentioned in tons of posts. Just search and you will find. Just don't be worried, it seems like it happens now and then (even though it hasn't happened to me....yet).

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
thanks for responding asap. do i reflash kernel only or the whole thing?

i had the same problem, i hope you have backed up before messing with any kernel level upgrades. than just flash the firmware only

does this work with Multiboot as well ? I don't want to kill the NITdroid option... Anyone updated from Power40 (incl. Multiboot support package) and all is still working ?

shockgiga 2010-11-10 15:33
Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
oh my. i didnt back up sadly :(
but i guess its ok coz i lost all my data anyway just recently when i had problems upgrading to 1.3

Installed v44 and rebooted, now stuck on the uboot screen with Loading kernel at the bottom. Left it for a couple of mins and still the same. Any ideas how to get past this?

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
@harvindhillon: I don't get it. You seem to be the third guy that get this result. It worked fine for me going up from 42 to 44. Did you upgrade with the n900 built-in updater app., terminal or the Fast application manager? I used fast application manager and it booted just nicely for me.
Do you have something odd on your sd card, such as some meego?

shockgiga 2010-11-10 15:42
Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
done reflashing. its back to new state now.

ok from now on im sticking to stock non-modded firmware. lol

I'm using multiboot and power44 (with u-boot) and Nitdroid still works. I cannot boot power-kernel from Multiboot, however, but if I don't open the keyboard it will boot power-kernel from the u-boot menu.

I used FAPMAN and App manager, twice same outcome and the second time it was fresh after reflashing.

Yups I formatted my memory card with ext3 with some files on it, not an OS or anything. However I did try booting without the SD card and same outcome too.

Indeed, I took hostmode-gui for the first time from MohammadAG site and then upgraded to the last version today through Faster Application Manager.
The version I installed with dpkg -i is in http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmod....2-2_armel.deb.

In the same directory there are the kernel-power-40 files patched by Mohammad, which I installed too.

Then both got overwritten today respectively with 0.2-3 and power-44. And everything works fine!

I had 7 usb sticks. All of them could be opened, either as /dev/sda or /dev/sda1.

Great work. :)

Anyone has any ideas on this :( ? v43 booted fine for me though

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
harvindhillon: Not really, I'm flabbergasted. Guess you saw in this thread that two other guys got the same result.
I upgraded straight from 42 to 44, could that have made a difference you think? I dunno, but it sounds far fetched.

If you can report exactly what is written above the "booting kernel" line, it will help debugging this issue.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
Not working for me... I had 40 installed, I uninstalled it, rebooted, installed 44, and now when I boot it loads something called U-boot (never seen it before!) and hangs at Starting kernel ....

:confused:

Larswad 2010-11-10 16:35
Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
Well, as I had kernel power installed first, and never installed the beta usb host mode kernel, and since that kernel features landed in titans power kernel, this is what I did to install usb-hostmode gui.

Maybe it's obvious for most people, but for some it isn't.

First I installed the i2c-tools from the terminal using:
Code:
root
apt-get install i2c-tools
I then downloaded the latest hostmode gui package from here (currently 0.2-3).
Put that file on the N900 using usb.
Then to get it installed (without letting in the dependencies, host mode kernel, modules and flash) using x-terminal

Code:
root
cd /home/user/MyDocs
dpkg  --ignore-depends kernel-hostmode,kernel-hostmode-flasher,kernel-hostmode-modules -i hostmode-gui_0.2-3_armel.deb
That's it, it will install without errors. Guess we all should be highly aware that this usb host mode feature is still beta, even if it has landed inside titans kernel.

I'll post what mine says exactly for diagnosis:

Getting NOLO supploised boot parameters...

There might be a few typos in there, but you get the gist of it.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
To get back to the nokia kernel, I had to boot into update-mode holding U and then run this command:

flasher-3.5 -F /Users/kieron/Downloads/RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R

obviously replacing the location where your update is

this will update only the kernel

more info in the wiki

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
The difference between power43 and power44 is only in a different version of u-boot. If some whose system hangs with power44 can try with power43 (after flashing the stock kernel, as per Kieron instructions), run in xterm as root:

apt-get install kernel-power=2.6.28-maemo43 kernel-power-modules=2.6.28-maemo43 kernel-power-flasher=2.6.28-maemo43

And tell me if this version also hangs, it will help me in tracking the bug.

Larswad 2010-11-10 17:02
Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
@Matan: I managed to upgrade from 42 to 44 (did not end up like some of the guys in here).

Didn't succeed with meego though (yet), but maybe I did something wrong with that 1.1 codedrop image (did I need to put the kernel image in that separate vfat partition that was included in that image?).
Well anyway, Maemo boots up just fine.

Works fine. Hangs a little at starting kernel, for mere seconds, and then boots fine. Must be something to do with the new version of uboot then?

Hope I helped. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to PM.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
FWIW, I updated from .39 to .44 via FAPMAN today without any trouble. I get the UBoot screen for a brief second or two, and then the N900 boots as normal.

I did have to install the recompiled FCam drivers from Titan's post before any camera apps would work, however -- including the stock camera.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
well, after i updated enhanced linux kernel for power users through fapman i got kernel panic after reboot and i don't know what to do with this:

"Nevermind. Downloaded the new v42 deb, extracted the fiasco image, extracted the kernel, copied to N900, setup a new multiboot item. Reboot, looks like I'm up and running on v42 kernel"

little help plz? ty

If someone who has the power44 hanging problem can help me to debug it by downloading a few images, flashing them, and telling me if they boot or not, please contact me by email: matan@svgalib.org or by private message.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
my camera has operation failed message and shuts down. I have tried to unistall fcam but i do not see the fcam drivers to remove.

i think when my phone was flashed some remnants of software (like for example ad flash blocker) were not properly removed.

Is there a command i can type in xterminal to completley remove fcam and the drivers please?

Could you describe how to install Titans driver?
I tried to dpkg from root but got an error saying no such file.
I put it directly in root and used sudo gainroot in X term

I'm not that good with the X term you know..
Would be much apreciated :)

That happened to me. As I mentioned a few posts above, I had to install a newly-compiled driver package that Titan released earlier today. See his post here for a link to the .deb:

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=130

Download the .deb to your phone somewhere -- Documents, for example, and then run the following in Xterm (you can type the first letter of each word and then press Tab to auto-complete to make things easier/more accurate):

Code:
sudo gainroot
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/fcam-drivers_1.0.7-1_armel.deb
(if you don't download the file to Documents, then you'll need to use the path to your download in that command rather than /home/user/MyDocs/.documents)

You'll need to confirm the installation in a prompt that appears. After that, simply reboot and your camera will function as normal again :)

Anyone else having trouble with mobile hotspot? I'm just getting the 'failed to start' message since updating the power kernel (among other things) via the app manager this morning... I rely on it quite heavily too.. I'll try to reinstall see if that helps..

Your link is broken (you're pointing to "/fca....7-1_armel.deb"). Please use the URL from my post above -- it works.
