I have finally uploaded the new experimental version 0.5 of kernel-power-settings.
It has lots of useful features and should make life easier but it's very different from the old kernel-load script. This version is not fully tested. Only install if you are prepared to reflash!

The file format of /etc/default/kernel-power has changed. Old files can still be loaded but should be converted.
The main script is /usr/sbin/kernel-config
the script can be called with "sudo /usr/sbin/kernel-config ..." or just /usr/sbin/kernel-config.
It can show, load and save settings.
User settings are stored in /home/user/.kernel/ ,
templates (do not modify!) in /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/
The configuration is saved and restored by the Backup program.
You can fine tune the voltage for a particular freq with "kernel-config lock freq voltage dsp".

In addtion to that you can configure options to enable fsck of /home during boot,
or to start USBnet+ssh early and it loads the modules in /etc/modules during boot.

more details when I find some time to elaborate (but it's mostly self-explanatory for power users).
In the meantime please use it with caution or do not upgrade.

700mhz

750mhz

800mhz

825mhz

900mhz

Run X Term and become root, then type fiasco-image-update /home/user/MyDocs/zImagexxx.fiasco

Replace the xxx with correct mhz number, e.g. if your flashing the 800mhz you need to type fiasco-image-update /home/user/MyDocs/zImage800.fiasco

Remember X Term is case sensitive.

Once done please reboot.

This worked for me running PR1.1

If you want to return to the stock kernel then open X Terminal and become root, then use the following command apt-get --reinstall install kernel kernel-flasher and reboot.

install rootsh from app manager then in xterm type root, however imo you would be better using titans maemo 25 kernel. you'll find it and all the info u need here.

Ok so I installed the kernel. then I did this step (I installed the Ideal setting):

2) to permanently install a default configuration

rm -f /etc/default/kernel-power
ln -s /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal /etc/default/kernel-power



Is there anything else I need to do?

Check in Conky or write "uname -a" in terminal. If you see a name with power in it you are set. You could also install cpufreq-utils to see your settings.
