Download to your N900/MyDocs folder

sudo gainroot

cd MyDocs

dpkg -i fcam-drivers_1.0.7-1_armel.deb (press tab after typing fcam to autocomplete)

reboot

For the people who are getting a kernel panic
It seems that the powerkernel is getting installed into /boot/

If this is the case then go root and then

Code:

mv /boot/2.6.28.10power44 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power44
It could be that the 2.6.28.10power44 is a bit different in /boot/ if this is so edit it like that

Also don't forget to edit your item files

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.


Just tried and got the same result as Kieron. Still having trouble getting the power kernel to load though. Looks like it's either dual boot maemo/nitdroid OR maemo/powermaemo for the moment.

I Downgraded to 42 and everything is fine again. Is there anything I can do to help debugging this problem ?

Bump!
Any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks

I think Titan will sort the Uboot soon.

then
apt-get install --reinstall multiboot-kernel-power
and
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
then reboot you see 2.6.28.10power44 show up on multiboot
it work for me

Same happened to me, no sound. When I tried to start a song with media player it said: unknown format. And I had a further problem my phone started only on every second boot. Back on maemo40 know. works like charm again. But of course no usb-host mode. Since which version is the usb-host mode included? I dont need multiboot, but I'm very interested in the usb-host mode.

So is there no way to get it to boot if it does the hang thing? I don't even do multiboot, so i didn't think i would have a problem, but after i installed and hit reboot it is hanging. I can get it to let me get to a terminal type thing if i have the keyboard open, but i don't know where to go from there.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
I'm only getting the penguin screen with waiting for kernel. I've tried to reflash but after a few minutes of waiting with my finger going numb on the "u" key it comes back to the damned penguin. Its driving me nuts. I've tried every key and combination of keys while on the penguin screen to no avail. Seems this is as far as it will go and no further. I can't really read what is said on the penguin screen because of bad eyes and no screen backlight. Feeling very very lost without my phone right now and no backup device to bring my work day forward. Can anyone tell me what would be the logical next step when even reflashing wont work?????

My pc does not recognise that my phone is connected. And thats where I sit. It's taken me last night and this whole morning to get absolutely nowhere.

turn your device off. start the flasher. connect the device via USB. turn the device on.
that should work.

That's just my point.....it doesnt work. I still get the penguin except that the text appears to be different (tiny text...too small for my eyes). I've started the device in the regular way. I've connected with usb while switched off. I've connected while switched on. I've connected while switched off and holding u. Penguin penguin penguin

Oh, and I've held u then connected usb and THEN put in battery. Still penguin

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
all till now get to console(put battery off,on press u on loding)
used reset command, reboot get backlight

Larswad 2010-11-11 09:34

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
dooint: Well, that is indeed strange. Sorry for asking what may be the most obvious stuff, but I hope you KEEP 'u' key pressed (for a while) as you insert the usb cable?
You start the flasher before you press 'u' and insert usb cable right?
And, could there be something with your PC side drivers for the flasher? Maybe install that flasher again or on a different machine?

Is someone else experiencing this incapability to flash this way?

afteris 2010-11-11 09:39

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
Larswad sure i press u before after and so on, the easy way you can install nokia software updater but it don`t find device to, at moment biggest problem is my battery level atmost 0 then device get little bit energy it starts and stop battery charging

Haha, yes. I press u until my thumb goes numb. Good idea, though. I've been doing this on my laptop. I'll try it on my desktop.

Can someone confirm taht the camera will crash while starting with the new release? i cant fire up the camera as long as the enhanced power kernel is installed... is there a way to go back to a previous version?

There are updated drivers in case you're using fcam-drivers. Install them and everything runs fine.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
@afteris: So what did you say here? 'network command' in this case is the same as usb?
So were you saying that the u-boot in the 44 kernel is one that prevents us from flashing kernel over usb?

@afteris, @doonit: Did BOTH you guys use nitdroid multiboot ever before this kernel power 44 reflash? The seem to talk about that here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...0&goto=newpost

afteris 2010-11-11 11:20

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
Nope no nitdroid
i think it`s not giving to reflash due low battery level

Larswad 2010-11-11 11:36

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
@afteris: Low battery is one idea, do you know if you battery WAS low after you did the flash? But in that case it's obviously not low enough to load up the tux and start the loader. Maybe it has different demands for battery when flashing and booting. Are you able to charge?

ok, just an idea: Try to follow one of the guides to install a valid os on your sd memory (like nitdroid or meego) and see if the u-boot behaves differently than now. If it even boots into one of those, maybe you're able to access the meamo partition from there and do something that fixes this problem, like reflashing everything back to stock? Backing up your SD first of course.

sygys 2010-11-11 11:36

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
I dont use fcam. it happens with the built in camera app. it will keep on crashing until i uninstall power kernel.

at least i remove fcamera. do i need to remove additional packages to get the built in app work?

update:

Thanks D4rKlar with these drivers all is working fine again.

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
got the update adn bricked my n900, running pr 1.3 flashed eMMC and all working again. did a restore to get old backup of power kernel on and all good again. not doing updates until its 100% confirmed all good.

doonit 2010-11-11 11:43

Re: Update for Enhanced kernel for power users just released
 
So I cant flash my device. But I've found that if I connect the usb with the phone off and the keyboard slid open that I can enter text. The phone asks what LOOKS like imap3 RX-51. Its VERY hard to read. I typed 'Help'"and got a long string of options that I also cant read because its just too small and the backlight is not working.
Does anyone know what the next step should be??
