Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
@araknos: Maybe you did not read first post, but there is already thread for kernel power development. See first post of this thread, there is written how to compile kernel-power.

1. outside scratchbox, "cd kernel-power-2.6.xx/debian/build/kernel-power" (or might get troublesome) 2. "make menuconfig" if you want to change anything still i cant see how to actualli build a kernel image make -f ? make-kpkg? Thanks |

@GreyZeppelin,
Which version/flavor of CSSU did you install? AFAIK only CSSU-thumb requires (comes with) a new kernel (which is actually the same as KP51). If CSSU replaced your kernel, then please go to the CSSU thread and complain about it! :) In any case, nothing prevents you from apt-get install'ing kernel-power. What's the problem? |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
I currently have the Maemo 5 CSSU Package, version 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo5.1
Thank you, I will ask the CSSU thread about it then. Actually, I've attempted to installed kernel power many time but I still have the same kernel (2.6.28-omap1.) everytime I check on x term with uname -r. |

If you, for some reason, don't want to try to install kp again you could run "dpkg -l | grep kernel" and, again, POST THE EXACT OUTPUT. Sorry for SHOUTING :), but I reckon 30% (if not 60%) of the messages in this whole forum could have been saved if people provided "supporting evidence" of their problems ("flashing doesn't work", "u-boot removed by nitdroid", etc.) Cheers, and good luck! |

New pre release v52 has fixed bq2415x, rx51_battery drivers, sigmask patch (for pselect) and enabled some ipv6 modules.

Yes, even after reboots or turning off and on the device, no changes happen. Quote:

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
@GreyZeppelin, did you rebooted? Do you have multiboot installed?
|
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Good question pali! That just came to my mind when I read yesterday's posts e-mail, but you were faster.
I would also ask if possibly u-boot installed? Boot with keyboard open or check via dpkg -l | grep boot |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
multiboot is program which flashing some kernel when device is booted. so it can remove flashed kernel.
u-boot only loading kernel from device (emmc, sd card), so when you flash kernel, u-boot is deleted and nobody will not overwrite it. in output from GreyZeppelin we can see that kernel-power *was* flashed into nand. |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Yep, you are right from your point of view.
But I believ you are not using multiboot, right? And I experienced that having once flashed a u-boot combined kernel, I could flash other Maemo kernels (with multiboot, so on device flashing) and u-boot was still available. That was my reason to ask for u-boot too. But if flashed kernel via USB, u-boot was gone and also having flashed another kernel like nitdroid or nemo erased u-boot. If you have a bit time to explain why this behaves differently? |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
@peterleinchen,
U-boot can (for now :) only be installed in the kernel partition. Meaning the kernel proper has to be piggybacked on U-boot. Multiboot flashes kernels. If the flashed kernel already contains U-boot, then you obviously continue to have U-boot. So when you say "I could flash other Maemo kernels (with multiboot) and u-boot was still available" it means either you told multiboot to flash a kernel that itself included U-boot, or (unlikely) multiboot is doing some behind-the-scenes magic to append the kernel to an existing U-boot if found. Very unlikely. |

But exactly these are my experiences. I flashed once a .... oh wait ... gimme me a few minutes! Oh, I really feel like the most foolish noob :( Please excuse me for spreading nonsense. I just rechecked that again and flashing standard omap kernel also vanishes u-boot (I had that the other way round in mind). I will try to explain briefly: I had multiboot with KP47 and I made a u-boot combined KP47 kernel. I added a new item for multiboot with foollowing entries: ITEM_NAME="Maemo kernel-power 2.6.28.10-power47u-boot" ITEM_KERNEL="2.6.28.10-power47u-boot" ITEM_MODULES="ext3" The experienced user will directly see my mistake. Kernel name is/was of course "2.6.28.10-power47" for both of my kernels. So my u-boot combined image did not really boot (kernel name different to given name), but I had to let multiboot start my old PK47 item. And the u-boot remained. Therefore I stated above, as I really thought u-boot had overcome the 'multiboot flash' (which indeed did not happen at all because of same kernel name). When I changed to KP50 and edited my (multiboot) /sbin/preinit to get framebuffer and rescue console support, I analysed a bit more detailed that code and found my mistake. I made that change: Code:
#peterleinchen I hope someone understood my "palaver". And again: Sorry. -- the most embarassing point is I knew that already, but somehow my FIFO stack head overflow ;) |

Is it possible to get smartreflex working up to 1000 MHz or higher?
|
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Possible - yes, if someone would spend high amount of time calculating and field-testing efuse values for 1000mhz, (or even up to 1150 mhz) like freemangordon did for 500-900.
Feasible - no, as 1000 mhz isn't sane frequency to use on N900. Using anything above 900 mhz isn't very wise thing to do RAM limits You anyway, and gain is purely numerological, with unnecessary risk involved. If You want, You can calculate SR for steps above 900, and test it well - I think that Pali or freemangordon would accept patch for KP, if done properly. But I doubt any of them would interested in risking their devices, to test or do it themselves. /Estel |

:D Thanks pali, Charging is stable now, it runs downloads all night without any problems. Good job!

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
My N900 was not used for a while and it was off. When I tried to power it on, battery was completely dead. And it would not charge. It blinked with a short red light. I thought that battery was garbage.
So, I used a spare battery. I tried again with the first battery. no go at all. spare battery in. Then I saw pre-release kp v52 mentioning something about bq2415x and rx51_battery drivers and it was the only reason I gave it a try. I tried again the first battery and it charges again. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to pali and everyone involved. |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Uh, oh where do I find pre-release kp v52? I want to try it. :)
Edit: Internal search couldn't find it, google found it http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1265427 Edit2: Running v52 all day, extensive app testing, heavy cpu load, no problems. LOVE YOU! :) |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Hi, I'm new in this community, I have 2 weeks with my N900 and I learn a lot, I discover all the time how powerful is this "phone" . I recently installed KP v51 successfully and Cleven works fine, the only thing was to redirect to folder with injections kernel drivers the bleeding-edge driver switch and even than cleven says that aren't the right drivers, works fine, monitor and injection. Thanks for all this work ... :)

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
For people, that are only using kernel-power-bootimg (multiboot, u-boot, etc):
Is promised option of *not* flashing kernel upon installation implemented into kernel-power-flasher, already? As you remember, it is important, as bootimage doesn't provide anything, now. Just asking, not demanding :) /Estel |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
@Estel, not yet. This is reason why is not kp52 in extras-devel...

hello evry one.
i install kp 52 and usb mode but when i reboot my phone and boot to backup menu ... i cant backup because i see this massage "udev started. /bin copied. /usr/bin copied. /usr/sbin copied; /sbin copied. /lib copied. Modules copied. SSHD found, copying.. chrooting..." and then my phone shut down. help me plz ... how to backup my phone? sorry for my low english! |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
@Estel, now solution to ask user if want to change kernel (flash to nand) is ready for testing.
Source code is on: https://code.launchpad.net/~pali/+ju...age-update-ask DEB package is now in Extras-Devel & Extras-Testing: http://maemo.org/packages/view/fiasco-image-update-ask/ It replace via dpkg-divert shell script /sbin/fiasco-image-update, which is used for flashing fiasco images. |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
Since I made the first remark about it, I might as well try it :)
It seems to work fine (assuming I did the test the right way). I had installed KP51 on my second device, and upgraded to KP52. I got a question on the screen device if I wanted to overwrite the already installed kernel (in NAND), and I declined that. And my u-boot/NAND is not overwritten now. Output from console: Code:
Preparing to replace kernel-power 1:2.6.28-10power52 (using kernel-power_2.6.28-10power52_armel.deb) ... |

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v51 in Extras-Devel
I solved the problem by redownloading and reinstalling all kernel packages, now boots ok, IDK what was wrong but everything looks the same, and yes i tried renaming before .item file :) after i tried to add your suggested line into working .item file i can't boot it shows that maemo is loading and i waited few minutes nothing, just rebooted and removed that line. I think i something missing to use this line in .item so i don't need it, but would be really interesting to know what it does exactly :) :)
P.S Thanks for help! :) |
