Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 

Trying Power-kernel v45 on a freshly flashed, PR-1.3, N900... board type 2204.

The light for charging does not appear to work. The keyboard light appears also broken... even in darkness it fails to come up.

With the included 'uboot' loader, how can I boot into the normal Maemo 5 kernel? I thought it could be done with 'run noloboot', but apparently not...

You'll get your lights back to life by doing this:
install latest fcam drivers from devel
shutdown
take out battery
insert battery
start the device

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 

Would you please check if with kernel-power ver 45 you get the normal usb mass storage? My phone doesn't react when connecting via usb to my desktop. HW version is 2101.
Now trying to reinstall stock kernel and re-checking.

UPDATE: stock kernel, pr1.3, works correctly with usb mass storage. Now trying with hostmode kernel.

UPDATE2: hostmode kernel, based on Titan's power kernel ver 40, has usb mass storage, usb host, OC. No u-boot, no 1.3 patches. Guess I'll stay with that for now.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 

This question isn't specific to the recent update to Enhanced Kernel..

I have loaded up a customised kernel which idols at 125mhz and depending on the program and the hardware required (GPS, Wifi, etc) goes up to 850mhz as its max.

PHP Code:
if [ "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_STARTUP_UPDATE" ]; then
# add here switch on instructions
/usr/sbin/kernel-load /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt | sudo gainroot
echo "ON";
exit 1;
fi;

if [ "$QBW_CURRENT_RESULTS_TEXT" == "ON" ]; then
# add here switch off instructions
/usr/sbin/kernel-unload /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt | sudo gainroot
echo "OFF";
exit 0;
else
# add here switch on instructions
/usr/sbin/kernel-load /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt | sudo gainroot
echo "ON";
exit 1;
fi;

I have used the queen beecon widget to create an on/off state for that kernel. Loading the kernel is fine:
/usr/sbin/kernel-load /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt | sudo gainroot

but unloading the kernel doesn't work. I tried the command:
/usr/sbin/kernel-unload /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt | sudo gainroot

the 2 thoughts that occur is that the command kernel-unload is incorrect? or that there needs to be a customised kernel and a stock kernel in MyDocs.. ie: I load the customised kernel to switch it on and I load the stock kernel to switch it off?

Can any one help me with correcting the command line to switch the customised kernel off

My N900 was died for 3 days

It's stick at starting kernel...

i've tried to reinstall kernel with maemo flasher but it didn't work

it's said that my device is not connect

What can I do ? please help

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 

You voided the warranty when you installed a non-stock kernel from extras-devel. They will probably not help you unless at least you first reinstall the factory-stock kernel. But if you do that you won't need Nokia's help anyway.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#Deinstallation (look down a bit for instructions for non-booting phones)

From Titan himself: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...777#post869777

Bottom line: If you don't know exactly what you're doing and why you're doing it - don't be doing it!

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 

if you have upgrade to kernel titan power45, after starting kernel (uboot) try to open the keyboard then the bootmenu should appears.

if you accidently install uboot while you're on PR1.2 just reflash with option kernel only command:
(first shutdown n900)
flasher3.5 -F <firmware image> --flash-only=kernel -f -R

(on pc will display "waiting for device")

(then power on) your n900 while the flasher command still runs



hope it help

yes i tried start with open keyboard but how can i pass the starting kernel

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 

I can confirm that USB Mass Storage mode works fine with Power Kernel v45... device must be powered on; if off, it goes into "charging" mode. My device's HW version is 2204.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 

Thanks! Taking out, and then re-installing the battery did recover my lights... already had the latest fcam drivers (from extras-dev) installed.
