3. upgrade to latest CSSU
4. reapply kernel power v48
5. reapply speed and battery patch.
the device no longer suffers from random reboots. it's been stable for the past 6 hours. as a downside, i can no longer enable smartreflex (it used to be stable for my device). that's a small matter really.

Uninstalled the patches and no reboots for about 1hr 30 mins. On QCPU it says what I set it to and has not moved either. Some circumstantial evidence there that power 48, and at least one of those patches, don't mix. Further testing required I suppose though.

I've installed uboot and applied-it to KPV48, but now, on every apt-get upgrade i get that KP is going to be updated.
Is this because of uboot? If so, how can I blacklist KP from beeing updated?
Thanks.

I read about this vulnerability in N900's FM radio driver, maybe the fix can be incorporated into power kernel:

Also noticed when looking around at what might be happening. It doesn't matter what I set the speed at, or change it too, it always seems to reset back to 750/500 when I look on QCPU. Never seen minimum at 500 until now. was always 250 and at occasional times 125. So even if I try to set to power kernel to 600 250 and either reboot myself or wait til it randoms (couple of hours sometimes) It always goes back to 750 500 when I look.
a) kernel power 48
b) latest CSSU
c) speed and battery patch.
this is what i did:
0. revert back to an old backup prior to the current CSSU
1. remove speed and battery patch
2. remove kernel power 48
3. reinstalled CSSU
4. reinstall kernel power 48
5. reinstall speed + battery patch
no longer do i have those issues. the device is rock solid now.

thanks droll. It's been on overnight in power 48 mode and been fine. Don't know about the patches (speed and battery). Might leave it for a bit. Didn't make a huge difference on my n900 anhyway. Don't think the battery did anything really. The speed patch in combination with the fasterfox plugin and fooling iplayer into thinking microb was an iphone browser made iplayer videos work fine. That was the main difference there.

@kyllerbuzcut,
You mention in #1561 (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=1561) that your clock settings keep getting reset to other values.
I haven't gone through the battery/speed patch thread (yet, and I'll probably never will, but I have the feeling that some of those "scripts" may be changing the CPU clocking settings (to whatever values are fixed in those scripts).
You may want to check that..
As for the reboots.. you say KP48 is fine, so I would probably point to the speed/battery "patches" as possible culprits (or at least facilitators
Cheers.

thanks for that.I was thinking the same. Thing is though it only started doing all that in last few days. so everything was fine in kp47. Only went to 48 recently.It might have even been fine before one of the last cssu updates just there too. So the scritps were doing ok before.
Maybe someone could isolate certain parts of the scripts that make video playback work better? That's the main reason for having them as far as I can see. Other people have said the battery lasts a whole day extra and things like that, but I didn't experience any of that.
I might try just the speed patch next and see what happens.
EDIT: still no reboots, so removing the scripts DOES fix the rando reboots for definite. Off to test just speedpatch.

@kyllerbuzcut,
OK. So issue is (apparently) not related to KP48, and therefore off-topic here
If I were you I would completely remove any traces of any speed/battery "patch". I have actually spent a few minutes having a look at that thread and have come to the conclusion that I wouldn't touch any of those things with a (long) stick!
BTW, reboots are usually caused by activating SmartReflex (VDD1/2). There is a reason why Nokia disabled that by default. Also using low voltage profiles may make your N900 go crazy (including rebooting).
