Thanks. No particular reason to deinstall. I just like to make sure that everything is working as it should, and since I mucked around a bit, I wanted to deinstall and reinstall again. Code doesn't work and Nokia Kernel (which has replaced Deinstall Kernel-Power" in the newest download (I think) doesn't work either, so something is actually wrong.

Thanks for the explanation of the two files. I assume, then, that the 'kernel-power' file would contain any 'make default' changes I've made. Is this correct? And what if I delete it entirely? What happens then? Defaults to the original maemo power management file - pmconfig - I presume?

As far as I know this is the only "supported" way of removing kernel-power (never tried it though). After that (possibly with a reboot involved), you can install it again.

But I still don't understand why you need to uninstall it (or reinstall it).
What exactly is the problem you have?



The kernel-power file has the defaults that are passed to kernel-config.

The pmconfig file has parameters that are used by the maemo power management (not sure exactly how these map to kernel parameters).

They do overlap a bit, but AFAIK kernel-power is loaded after pmconfig, so it takes precedence over pmconfig.
