So we have a winner...
Anyway, the fact is that n900 will fry under the most extreme and brutal overclock settings we have seen!!

The bet is: anyone dares to max=1150000 min=1100000 and let psx4all in demo-mode all night?
We want the first "exploding n900" case... but at your own risk!

Im sure it will just reboot and won't explode...

@Titan: Do you know which voltage Lehto is using for 250/500 Mhz ?

This is probably wrong. It is very unlikely that the incident reported by Maykon-de-angra, represents an N900 permanently damaged as a result of overclocking. I'd wait for a coherent report before assigning a winner.

I'm placing bets that an n900 running a complex mixed workload fixed at 1ghz would survive a week with no issue. No, I'm not willing to test.

Hi all,
Just need some help.
I have re-flashed my N900.
Before, i can easly run a command like:
sudo echo 900000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq\echo
or
sudo <whatever>

Now, it just say me, permission denied or prompt for password.
Of course i've already instaled rootsh (i know i can run 'sudo gainroot', but before, i dont need to )

I've read "http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access" but nothing help :S

Please, i've a lot of scripts with 'sudo <command' that are not working now, because of that i've tell

Please help me

HI, according to the wiki, I did the following to permanently install a new config

rm -f /etc/default/kernel-power
cp /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt /etc/default/kernel-power

the above worked... except this one

Nokia-N900-02-8:~# /usr/sbin/kernel-load
/usr/sbin/kernel-load: /etc/default/kernel-power: line 1: UP_THRESHOLD=75: not found
any ideas why???

I have just reflashed my whole firmware and started from scratch with maemo 25

edit:
if i'm not wrong, does these codes go together on the same line??
cp /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt /etc/default/kernel-power
/usr/sbin/kernel-load

Create a file /etc/sudoers.d/99all.sudoers containing:

user ALL = PASSWORD: ALL

And run the command update-sudoers. Be aware that a mistake in a sudoers file might render your system unbootable, requiring a filesystem reflash.

I have a file chroot.sudoers contatining this line, so it is possible that easy-chroot package provides this already.

Sorry, it needs to be NOPASSWD, rather than PASSWORD.
