*EDIT* Nevermind. Downloaded the new v42 deb, extracted the fiasco image, extracted the kernel, copied to N900, setup a new multiboot item. Reboot, looks like I'm up and running on v42 kernel.

how do you do tat?? please help....

I guess overclocking the lil N900 proved to be a popular thing to do.

Enable Extras-Testing in the App Manager and you can install kernel-power42 click-click.

getting the "Can't flash kernel, required files not found
guru meditation #00000025, 62017712" issue

not wanting to cross post but i listed what i did step by step here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...669#post868669

Edit: (fixed)
as pointed out below:

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

all fixed and booting, repoting right with kernel-config show

embarasingly simple :rolleyes: i guess the new flasher wasnt there to be run - lots of new kernel power based bits and bobs came down thankyou! . . .sorry

massive thanks to titan for updating it to include the pr1.3 updates :D

Re: Overclock the N900?

Code:

Thanks Titan !

N900 unstoppable ;)

Re: Overclock the N900?

1) Download kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo42_armel.deb from the repository.
2) Extract the fiasco image (I used 7-zip in windows)
3) Extract the kernel from the fiasco image with the flasher (In windows, flasher-3.5.exe -F name_of_file.fiasco -u)
4) Renamed the resulting zImage file to vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power42
5) Copy this file to /boot/multiboot
6) Copied /etc/multiboot.d/01-Maemo-kernel-power40 to 02-Maemo-kernel-power42
7) Edited the new file to point to the new kernel
8) Reboot.
