Any ideas as how to know if it is really Power44? When I install the Power44 deb via dpkg -i kern..., I don't get any errors. It says:
Setting up kernel-power (2.6.28-maemo44) ...
/home/user/MyDocs #

No errors yet a reboot still yields Power41...

Did I miss something?

Thank you in advance.

This thread is moving fast! Anyone have any help with this issue?

It hasn't flashed the kernel. Just installed it.

What does this command give You:

Code:

apt-cache policy kernel-power-flasher

It should say:

Code:

kernel-power-flasher:
  Installed: 2.6.28-maemo44
  Candidate: 2.6.28-maemo44

... and so on...

You can install it like this:

Code:

root
apt-get install kernel-power-flasher

Maybe You should just install it through the application manager next time and let it pull all dependencies...

(if you don't download the file to Documents, then you'll need to use the path to your download in that command rather than /home/user/MyDocs/.documents)

You'll need to confirm the installation in a prompt that appears. After that, simply reboot and your camera will function as normal again

Thanks,that did the trick for me

Candidate: 2.6.28-maemo41

The 2.6.28-maemo41 down to2.6.28-maemo24. It appears that there isn't at ver 44 candidate.

Hmmmmm, this is what I get after running the install command:

Nokia-N900:~# apt-get install kernel-power-flasher
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
kernel-power-flasher is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kernel-power-flasher: PreDepends: kernel-power (= 2.6.28-maemo41) but 2.6.28-maemo44 is to be installed
kernel-power-modules: Depends: kernel-power (= 2.6.28-maemo41) but 2.6.28-maemo44 is to be installed or
kernel-power-bootimg (= 2.6.28-maemo41) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Hmmmmm

44 is in extras-devel so that has to be enabled in Application Manager before You try this...

I will check my catalogs. I must have deactivated extra-devel......

EDIT:

I have etras-devel setup and enabled per the picture.

Any ideas? I don't want to reflash so I am afraid to use apt-get update........I also noticed that xterm is trying to fetch Power41 again. That doesn't seem right.
