Thanks all for testing.

Thanks a lot Pali, keep up the good work.
For multiboot: before installing power kernel, _uninstall_ package multiboot-kernel-power.

Can you test if multiboot is configured correctly without package multiboot-kernel-power? (Note: First remove all kernel-power packages and multiboot-kernel-power and then install my builds)

And for packet injection in wl1251. If somebody compile all modules for pre v47 (this is pre release, real v47 will be in extras-devel), I can publish it on my server.

regarding the wifi driver patch and the possibility of it having a bug I have posted this.

perhaps it's only on mine though, but if not, it should not be made the one and only available driver in a new kernel.

Is there a practical need to compile? Like I said, for me, the original modules (well, slightly patched because the driver wouldn't count transmitted packets when in monitor mode, so I bugged lxp about that) load and run fine, even though they were for v. 46wl.

I mean, maybe the way I'm doing it (I copied the load.sh script, modified to give it objective paths, and replaced Advanced Interface Switchers wifi driver load/unload scripts with that and a purely-unload version respectively), has some forcing effect indirectly (I never looked in depth at the python code, but I don't think it would magically work like that), but the scripts themselves just insmod [path and module] for all of the modules.

Or is it that compiling against this pre-47 version takes care of other potential bugs that might crop up that I just haven't hit yet?

- Edit -
Oh, right, @ evan: I'll do my best to test your bug tomorrow, see if I can at all reproduce it.

- Edit 2 -

So I originally put fbcon as a new line in the /etc/modules file that the power kernel normally uses to load modules. This didn't work for me, and no console appeared - after a prolonged search I found nothing useful, and went with the original pali suggestion from page 6 or so of this thread to edit /sbin/preinit.

It... semi worked. I added it in one of the very early functions of that script - between line 26 and 27. As I don't fully understand the boot process, it seemed like a good a place as any. I'm not exactly against reflashing, as I've forced myself to do that so very often already.

Anyway, turned N900 off - turned it on. Nokia splash screen appeared (along with vibration), then screen went black, then nokia splash screen appeared again, a console did appear and printed out a lot of crap. Then it shut off. Pressing the power button again, I figured that was a mess up so I wanted to see if I could get a shell from the console somehow, and fiddle in general - splash screen, more console, first I pressed Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+D, seeing if that did anything. For some reason - no idea what, that time it went ahead and continued to boot just fine, going to the blinking five dots, then to the lock code and SIM pin, and so on until normal boot.

Anyone know a good safe way to get the framebuffer console that isn't as risky as my random experimental insertion of the modprobe line? Also, how do you go from console to an actual shell, or is something else required before that's doable?

Removed kernel-power and related packages, kernel-power-multiboot, multiboot, rebooted to stock kernel, installed multiboot, rebooted again, installed your packages, rebooted again, selected v47 from multiboot menu, seems to work fine

The only thing i noticed is a difference in the battery indicator reading from the stock kernel(almost full) and v47(allmost empty) and a quite noticable performance jump from v46 to v47, thanks again!

I am happily testing 47. The phone does seem more responsive, but that may be subjective of course.

The wireless seems more robust than it was, too.

Thank you for your work, gentlemen!

Should i dpkg -i kernel-power? because it doesn't want to upgrade from 46 to 47, when i just click on the deb.

Well, dpkg -i worked for me but maybe its better to remove kernel power and asociated packages and then install v47 as per Pali's directions.

Not sure if you're running multiboot, but if not, just installing over it seems to have worked fine for me.
