Hi,

I've got an issue. I cannot flash the kernel through PC because I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit laptop, and I have no access to a Vista or XP computer. Also I found out on the Microsoft's website that you have to have Windows 7 Professional or Business version in order to download the Windows XP mode Virtual Machine. On top of that I have read all the instructions on how to flash via the xterminal, but I have had no luck. I do have rootsh installed by the way. Once I get to the step where you have to enter command "flasher --local -f -k <kernel_zimage_file_with_path>" it tells me that the path doesn't exist. Am I supposed to have the < or > on either end, or am I supposed to have the file stored on an SD card? I have put the file directly in the root of the device, and not in any folders at all. I can see the file when I go to file manager and click on the directory that first comes up "Nokia N900." I am new to the Maemo software, especially when it comes to anything with Linux. But I have been reading a lot trying to soak in as much as I can. Anyway, I MUST be typing in the file path incorrectly. That's the only thing that I can think of. If you need more info from me please reply. I really would like to OC my N900 to see the difference. Also, I can't remember where I downloaded the file from as I am not home right now on my personal laptop. But the file name that I downloaded is "zImage-850mhz-450dsp" with no extension on the end of it. My N900 says the file type is unknown. Could someone give me an example of how it should be typed with my file name that I downloaded. I really would love it if someone had a video posted up somewhere going through the steps on how to do it through the xterminal. That would be great! If not, I look forward to anyone's help. Thanks.

EDIT: I finally figured out what I was doing wrong! I feel soooooo retartded! I WAS typing the file path incorrectly. I was typing "/home/user/kernal_file_name" when I was supposed to be typing "/home/user/MyDocs/kernal_file_name" Glad I figured it out! LOL!
