Ok, I'm going to chalk it up to out of space on the root file system. Applied qwerty's kernel, changed /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-mount.sh, and noatime fix for /usr/sbin/mmc-mount.

So far everything works... and it works *FAST* I may just be smoking the good stuff, but I'm liking it ;-)

Some of the specific improvements I subjectively see.
  • Browsing photos in Canola full sized is much snappier ( less spinnies between images )
  • Media Player loads a full 700+ song list in a second.
  • No stuttering on media player even when activly multi-tasking
  • Less startup lag with media-crawler satalling things out.

But how about additional modules?
I can see that there are hardly any in /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current using kernel with rotation support.

I'm a bit confused with avaliable kernel options

On n770 where I use high-speed Fanoush's kernel I've got plenty - now I'm looking for getting usb-rs232 adapter to work.
Unfortunately I've got modules only for "kernel-2.2007.50-2-custom" and I can't insmod pl2303.ko module on current - updated diablo

try http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/2.6.21-20...modules.tar.gz

this is for Diablo before the update, hopefully it will work as kernel in the update is same or very similar

Working ...
I didn't try this version mentioned before for the second time - but it was all my fault - I didn't load usbserial module before pl2303.ko.

I can now read my 3D electric field probe

Hey guys, I installed the SSU update, and then I installed querty12's kernel .deb, and it told me that I was downgrading my kernel!

dpkg - warning: downgrading kernel-diablo-flasher from 2.6.21-200829maemo1 to 2.6.21-200823maemo3.
Is this a cause for concern? Is there a newer kernel that needs the patches, or is the version number just a cosmetic thing?

I found I had to do this in three steps:

1. Install qwerty12's modified kernel
2. Start a terminal, gain root
3.
Code:
flash-and-reboot
It will tell you that there's a kernel image waiting for you, do you want to flash it? I answered yes. My tablet did some stuff and then rebooted.

Not sure if this is something going on with my tablet, or if this is the way of things for others, but if you don't get rotation (or in my case, you are told you have rotation, but then it doesn't work) try steps 2 and 3.

Yes, qwerty's kernel is for 23-14. He didn't release a new one for 30-2 AFAIK.

From what I can tell, the kernel wasn't actually updated at all, but probably just the package. Either way, there's no new sources for 30-2.

Yer, I'm still waiting for Nokia to get off their behinds (for want of a stronger word) and upload the new source package

I could just change the version number but when nokia actually do update the sources, it will cause confusion.

For now though, if you have the update installed, I wouldn't recommend installing it as you will mess up osso-software-version (unlocked or otherwise). dpkg -x'ing it somewhere and then fiasco-flasher -f -k should do the trick. I haven't noticed because I've been compiling test kernels and using flasher-3.0 to flash them off the computer.

Now you tell me.

So what will happen if I just uninstall your package? The flash-and-reboot of your kernel has already happened, will uninstalling the .deb make the system try to flash the Nokia kernel again?
