IF YOU DO THIS YOU CANNOT OVERCLOCK MAEMO

which I dont like :(

anyone know a fix to this?

You can downgrade kernel-power47 to v46. Its still in the repos as far as I know. Then you can install uboot for kernel-power to boot MeeGo.

To downgrade, the command should be something along the lines of:

Code:

apt-get install kernel-power=2.6.28-maemo46*

Re: N900 MeeGo CE Summer Edition Released

can some one do me a favour and some other people as well..
can someone put instructions on how to download it (just like how to download android, it was pretty easy). i've never had meego and love to try but cant download it .. (tried once be4 and destroyed the system on my phone and had to take it to the warehouse and left it for a month to fix it).. so it would be great to put instructions
thankx

Oh god. Are you serious? I mean... It's a ten minute fix. You just flash it again D: This advice is repeated over and over on the forums. Please don't tell people to die when you're unable to fix the simplest of issues for yourself.

Re: N900 MeeGo CE Summer Edition Released

Re: N900 MeeGo CE Summer Edition Released

does the community work on optimising meego for the N900?
Great news!!!!
how can i install meego on the internal memory?
and do i need to remove nitdroid.
is the nitdroid project dead?
meego for the n900 needs more languages and writing languages.
the apps will come after the n9 release.
keep up the work.
i will help and test.
i cant do anything else

Re: N900 MeeGo CE Summer Edition Released

I followed Fabry's guide here to get kernel-power47 patched with uboot.
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=876169&postcount=1

I've written a script to add uboot to power47 automatically and a guide to flash the kernel. If using multiboot this will replace and backup the original.

You should be able to copy/paste the relevant steps into xterm.

After reboot, leave keyboard open to boot from MMC card
Close keyboard on reboot to start power47 kernel.

[EDIT] Updated steps 7-8 to flash kernel ready for reboot.
[EDIT2] corrected flasher command in step 7

Code:

sudo gainroot

cd /home/user



# Prerequisites

apt-get install -y wget flasher mkimage



#1. Download power kernel deb file from repository and extract fiasco image from it

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/k/kernel-power/kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb -O kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb

dpkg --fsys-tarfile kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb | tar -xf - ./boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco

mv ./boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco /home/user/

rm -r boot

rm kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb



#2. Download Matan's u-boot from repository (it is named u-boot-for-power-kernel) and extract file image from it

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/u/u-boot-for-power-kernel/u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb -O u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb

dpkg --fsys-tarfile u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb | tar -xf - ./usr/lib/u-boot/u-boot.bin.0x38000/u-boot.bin.0x38000

mv ./usr/lib/u-boot/u-boot.bin.0x38000/u-boot.bin.0x38000 /home/user/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47

rm -r usr

rm u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb



#3. Unpack Fiasco image

flasher -u -F zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco

rm zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco



#4. Transform zImage in uImage (necessary because u-boot boots Kernel only in uImage file format)

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 80008000 -e 80008000 -n "Power Kernel v47" -d zImage uImage 



#5. Add power kernel uImage at end of previous file (starting write at offset 0x38000 aka 448 blocks)

dd if=uImage of=vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 seek=448



#6. Remove zImage & uImage

rm zImage

rm uImage

The next part is taken from the maemo overclock wiki:

Code:

#7. Flash the kernel

softupd -vv -s --local(that is a double v)

Open new terminal

Code:

sudo gainroot

flasher --local -f -k /home/user/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47

You'll see the flashing (takes some time)
# Type "sync" to save changes

Code:

#8. Optional - Multiboot - backup and replace Power47

mv /boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak

mv /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak

mv /home/user/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47
