Hey guys, thought Id ask the community on what might be happening here as I'm not sure.

Last night my n900 froze half way through a CPU intensive application , when it came back up the default Nokia kernel was being run. (least I think it is)

uname -r
>2.6.28-omap1

Now i think this is being caused by multiboot installed by nitDroid... which is fine but I cant seem to change scaling frequency values anymore by echoing to /sys/devices/system/cpu etc

I've been running the enhanced power kernel for 3 months prior and I cant seem to get back to it.

So I uninstalled it completely and reinstalled it several times, it doesn't complain about any errors.

made sure to run apt-get install -f

The only things done the night it went stuck on the original kernal were update the Qt4 and force installed bsdl-ttf2.0_2.0.9

ran
dpkg -i --force-all libsdl-ttf2.0_2.0.9-1osso0\+0m5_armel.deb

Basically Id be happy with just getting overclocking back.

Re: Kernel locked

That's why you uninstalled NiTdroid and you'll get your OC back.

Im not thinking today, thanks.

I'll see if there a way to get multiboot to load the power kernel.

Re: Kernel locked

Forgot I even had multibooting since it only prompts when booting with an open keyboard. I always just use putty if I can :p

Anyway, if anyone else comes across this post you can add the kernel into multiboots options with:

Code:

apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg



dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/multiboot-kernel-power_0.3_armel.deb
