Just FYI : this weekend I applied DT (as described on first page, plus the latest zImage from a couple pages back) to both my N800 and N810.

Both installation went real smoothly. I haven't stress-tested them heavily since, but at least they rebooted fine and seem no worse for wear :-)

Both devices had (slightly different customizations, like Advanced Power, Launcher, Telescope etc. All seem to work as before.

Great job, and thanks for bringing some action to our old tablets ! :-)

O.K. still not able to switch off the unit by any means. Holding down the power button or selecting 'switch off' only reboots it. If I command 'shutdown now' via the terminal, will only put the unit in a state where the screen goes black until I slide open the keys where I get a white screen, removing the battery is the only way to reset it.

I have done a fresh install without using my old back-up and only a few (total of sixteen) apps installed. The DT install was done by the book, I even made sure that the sysvinit=2.85-22.osso15 was not replaced by the DT sysvinit. Yes I also fiasco-flasher -f -k the DT kernel with zimage.

What happens if you turn on R&D mode and disable the lifeguard-reset?

EDIT:

Isn't the DT sysvinit needed to properly shutdown?

Replace "flasher-3.0-static" with the flasher you use to reflash the tablet.

I have tested shutdown just now again, after a 4 days uptime, and you are right, the shutdown issue is not gone :-(
sysvinit is still needed
Somehow it worked with diablo's sysvinit when I tested the patch.

Thanks, I thought I was doing something wrong. The DT sysvinit fixed the shutdown problem.
