Re: Overclock the N900?

Ok thanks for the answer, it then looks like a hardware problem as have flashed it twice now and still getting re boots, from time to time, even when the phone is sitting on the table, doing nothing

Looks like it time to try out the warranty on it, luckily I have another N900 that is working just fine :)

But at least I got the battery module back in :-)

Attached are the 3 packages to isntall it. It is based on titans meamo40 tree. I also included the debian changelog and patches tree for those who like to play with it themselves. And maybe titan can take it too for hist further developments...

Be warned, no guarantees, just for the brave!

The packages are to big to upload here. You can find them at http://marcel.mesa.nl/n900kernel

hello kindly fix the link please.. I get this error whenever i try to download the DL link.

Re: Overclock the N900?

Yep same errors here. I'm hoping to test this custom kernel package to see if the DD-WRT incompatibility still exists - that's the only problem keeping me from running overclocked.

Re: Overclock the N900?

yes, some strange thing going on.

I thought right clicking the link and use 'save link as' would work but that fails to.
Have to look at it

But I also put it on our ftp server:

ftp://mesa.nl/pub/n900/kernel/

Re: Overclock the N900?

Nice one! Now the ftp works great! :p

Re: Overclock the N900?

@mirakels
I'd like to test your kernel.

How do I install:

kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo41_armel.deb
kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo41_debian.tgz
kernel-power-flasher_2.6.28-maemo41_armel.deb
kernel-power-modules_2.6.28-maemo41_armel.deb

Just download to my N900 and install with file manager/program manager?
Do I need all files? Are kernel-power-settings working?

When you flashed the phone (or even if you just do an OTA upgrade) it wipes out both the 'kernel-power' and 'kernel-power settings' packages. Unless both are reinstalled the phone will only load the stock kernel and standard settings. Whatever settings you had before just don't matter, the phone will only run standard settings.

So resetting the power settings is not possible or necessary while running the stock kernel. IOW, that's not the cause of the reboots. Maybe the reflash didn't go quite right, maybe you loaded the wrong firmware, maybe your phone has developed a hardware problem, or maybe some software is causing trouble. But trying to fix it by attempting to change power settings while running the stock kernel will get you nowhere.

For me the kernel power (settings) were not wiped after OTA firmware update, mine was still installed and all my custom profiles worked imediately after reinstall kernel-power kernel-power-flasher, also after pr1.3 both kernel power and settings showed as installed, hence the need to reinstall not install kernel-power (afaik the flasher component is only needed if you want to use multi boot)

Afaik, someone correct me if im wrong, kernel-power and settings are not wiped at all, the new PR1.3 kernel is just flashed as a replacement, leaving kernel-power installed but not in use.

but basically copy the 3 .deb files to your n900

dplg -i kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo41_armel.deb kernel-power-modules_2.6.28-maemo41_armel.deb

followed by
dpkg -i kernel-power-flasher_2.6.28-maemo41_armel.deb

and reboot

the .tgz file is only needed on your build host if you want to compile the kernel itself..

Re: Overclock the N900?

@mirakels
Can I make a request to disable fbcon/framebuffer console on boot? I think it's very unstable and can cause crashes when enabled.
