There is a new stable overclockable kernel in extras-testing.
Installation is very simple: install the package kernel-flasher-maemo (section system in HAM) und reboot. There's no need for reflashing etc.
The default limit is at stable 600MHz. This is the same setting as the stock kernel and is safe.
This kernel makes it possible dynamically change the maximum frequency up to 1.2GHz (supported frequencies are 250,500,550,600,700,750,800,850,900,950,1000,1100, 1200MHz)
Warning: Overclocking may damage your device and is at your own risk!
You can manually increase the limit until your device fries using, e.g. for 600MHz
To permanently fix the limit edit /etc/pmconfig.Code:echo 600000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
Unlike the other kernels in this thread it can also more of use the intermediate frequencies which might be the reason why it is stable for me at 1GHz.
Apart from overclocking, this kernel has a lot of other features
(2.8.26.10, PR1.2 patches etc) see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43420
It also retains the version info in Settings -> Product info.
If it works well for you, please vote at

Good luck!

Heres my thoughts.
People like you should stick to the stock kernels! Theres no way in hell anybody who breaks their device with overclocking should send it to warranty, for the following reasons:
1. If you break the device, you cant flash stock kernel back in.
2. At nokia service they will see that your using non-stock kernel and then figure out its an OC kernel one
2b. At which point they will just send the device back along with a propable bill for wasting their time with a device you broke yourself!
3. Its not right thing to do. Say I buy a new car, then I put in my own tuning fuels and oils, which make the car go faster for a moment but then engine breaks. Do you think it goes to warranty?
So there you have it. I didnt write the warranty void texts there just for fun! People... THINK before you flash any of these in your device.
