What setup do you have with respect to swap?
I'm not totally sure what you mean by "what setup do you have with respect to swap?" I was using ramzez prior to installing DT. I set the swap % in ramzez once and then it kept it and I never really thought about it again until now. If there is somewhere specific I can look at on my N810 let me know and I'll get that info back to you ASAP. Thanks!

Unit (WiMax version) has been very stable for last 36 hours (it rebooted one time, first time that has ever happen that I am aware of).

Trying to do a shutdown via the advanced-power app will cause a reboot on the first try then on the second it will shutdown. This seems to happen after the unit has been up for a few hours (not all the time). I suspect advanced-power or advanced-backlight or advanced-power-monitor or all of them are conflicting with Diablo-Turbo.

Web pages loads faster, most of the time.

I would recommend this kernel over the last one since I was not able to get that one to work. :)

Flakey and/or dying batteries will indeed cause reboots. My N810 runs unmodified Diablo, and it still has its original battery, which obviously is getting seriously old in the tooth... lately it started rebooting by itself each time I connect the charger to top it off, which is a typical end-of-life symptom. New but counterfeit units with dodgy specs will also behave like this early on.

I have had the shutdown issue twice on my N810 (not with this new kernel but just with the d-t packages).

These times the power button wasn't working with the "screen won't go off" issue too.

So maybe these issues are relationated???

When that happened advance-power option to shutdown the device just rebooted. Same second time to shutdown with the advance-power menu.

Third time all went fine. Advance-power option could shutdown N810, screen go off allright and device power button worked again.

So I think all these issues are different sides of the same problem.

This sounds like straight out of The Right Stuff... maacruz is a maemo Hero (yes, with the capital H :-)

If you have enabled a swap file or swap partition in mmc, or you have just ramzswap and nothing else.
Try this:
Code:
root
cd /etc/rc2.d
mv S31ramzswap S52ramzswap
reboot
and tell me if it fixes the problem.

.
I said so in the new test kernel announce post. You should flash the new test kernel ASAP, only after some time of testing we'll know if both issues are gone.

This worked!!!! Thanks for all the help with this, I really appreciate it. I guess it doesn't matter much now, but I am just using ramzswap --- no mmc swap partition or swap file. Thanks again!

The alarm in Clock and Large-statusbar-clock fails to alarm and keeps the display from dimming/sleep. Must reboot to reset unit.


All times are GMT. The time now is 12:08.
