Re: Multiboot Kernel Power issue
 

The .fiasco files are mend to be used by the flasher utility from your PC, not from the N900 itself.
Is the extracted file an fiasco image? Then you would have to apply changes to it according to Fabry's link in his post or is it a plain zimage which already has uboot applied to? Multiboot is only able to flash kernel images in vmlinuz/zImage style, not fiasco images.

Re: Multiboot Kernel Power issue
 

Nope the supplied file (a 7-zip archive) contains a file named "zImage-power48-ubootMod"
This is a zImage file ready to flash if it will be renamed as vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power48

My file is only zImage Power Kernel v48 + u-boot (Matan's version) modded to search boot.scr on mmc's first partition instead of third partition.

This kernel image was created before Pali released his version which is better because it uses newer version of u-boot:

Here the Pali's U-Boot zImage (with power kernel v48) : http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pali/u-boot+kp48.bin

Re: Multiboot Kernel Power issue
 

Understood. I have downloaded the Pali's u-boot+kp48.bin and will give a try on flashing it using a PC. am going through the other threads guiding on how to flash this .bin file. If any issues i'll again seek your help.

just wanted to confirm before i could proceed. After flashing this kernel I'll have the original Maemo Kernel ( Default), Kernel Power 48 ( with U-Boot ), and my NITdroid, right?

Is there a particular way i need to flash to achiveve the above possibility

Re: Multiboot Kernel Power issue
 

It has been found out a power consumption problem with Pali's U-Boot

Re: Multiboot Kernel Power issue
 

trying to play with the power kernel my phone could no more boot maemo with power kernel 48
i treid to reinstall the kernel flasher kernel power kernel modules and bootimg but no luck.
lastly i deleted the vmlinuz 2.6.28.10 power 48 from /boot/multiboot and also removed the item file from /etc/multiboot.d

later i tried to first install flasher via apt-get than the power kernel than modules and lastly bootimg but failed to see a entry/addition of .itme file in /multiboot.d and image file in /boot/multiboot

the only change i see after reinstalling the kernel is an zimage-2.6.28.10-power48 in /boot

since there is no item file and an image file i have only 3 option in my multiboot

1 maemo omap1
2 vmlinuz-2.6.28.nit06
3 vmlinuz-2.6.28.nit07

any help please

Re: Multiboot Kernel Power issue
 

just created the power kernel .item file in /etc/multiboot.d and was able to boot in power kernel

thanks

Re: Multiboot Kernel Power issue
 

This zimage file is your kernel from the bootimg package.
Copy or move it to /boot/multiboot/ folder and rename it to vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power48 .
Copy 00-Maemo-2.6.28-omap1.item to 01-Maemo-2.6.28.10-power48.item and edit the item name and the item kernel lines to reflect the kernel-power48.Use any editor of your choice for me it would be nanoThe content of this file lokks like that:Save it and you are ready to reboot into kernel-power48.

Re: Multiboot Kernel Power issue
 

Thanks i am able to reboot with Power Kernel 48 now.

After installing the kernel Power (Bootimg) zImage-2.6.28.10-power48 is created in the /boot folder.

I than just created the .item file in the /Multiboot.d folder and it worked, i am able to boot in Power Kernel, but just for your info i tried your above steps where in if i Change the name of zImage file to Vmlinuz the phone doesn't boot in power kernnel.

This means the multiboot tries to find the zImage instead of the Vmlinuz. Any idea why would this be in my case, is this due to some changes in the new Bootimg i reinstalled?

Just to summarise

After creating the .item file for Power Kernel

1) zImage-2.6.28.10-power48 file in /Boot/Multiboot (system boots in power kernel)
2) zImage-2.6.28.10-power48 file in /Boot (system boots in power kernel)
3) zImage-2.6.28.10-power48 file copied to /Boot or /boot/Multiboot and renamed to vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power48 (system will not boot in power kernel)

Re: Multiboot Kernel Power issue
 

Stuck with Meego and cant return to Maemo.

Since for power Kernel the .item file is linked with the zImage and not vmlinuz i replaced the file supplied by Fabry and rename it to the zImage-2.6.28.10-power48 and replaced the existing one created by bootimg and on restarting the phone the u-boot started. but later came till Starting Kernel and phone Freezes.

i later inserted the SD card with Meego image on in and restarted the phone and the phone could boot in Meego. but i cant find any way going back to Maemo. I tried the Run noloboot but same stucks at Starting Kernel.

Any suggestion / help.
