I can confirm that I have rev 2204 and had problem with v44. Reflashed with stock kernel, then installed v45. Now it boots. However reboots seems erratic. I've tried 4 reboots in a row since installing v45. First 2 times shortly after "Starting kernel ..." the device powers off, if I then turn on the device it boots normally. Then the last 2 times reboot is normal. Not sure I want to do any more reboots right now to check.

hello,
just installed v45 with rev 2101 mainboard.
Device is not booting up, sreen says reading boot.scr and goes off after a few sec. Looks like it's trying to boot from mmc1 (SD card) when i remove this, then it's booting fine, everything seems to work.

After testing i noticed that, when i press a key within 3 sec when it's booting and i type run noloboot then it's boots up wih mmc1 card inserted!

How to mange that the device is normally booting up???
So that i don't have to enter some text, or press a key?
If i want to boot another than MAEMO than that's OK, but i don't yet use that option...

thanks in advance

i did this, didn't work.

now of further trying, in noticed that when the n900 is booted up and running normally, when i press reboot, i have the reboot button in the power menu. then everything is working fine. Phone is booting up normally his MAEMO kernel (titans OCed)
But when i shutdown the device and switch is on, it tries to boot up from mmc1, after a few sec, device goes off.
So the boot sequence is first trying to boot from SD/MMC1

I prefer to first to boot Maemo, and when you hit a key within 3 sec you have a choice where to boot from...

Is this possible? and how do i do that?

OK. It really was the battery level that prevented me from being able to reflash. Gave my battery to a freind with a 5800 and he charged it up full and after that flashing wasn't a problem at all. Kept all my data but gotta start installing all those apps again...

To anyone not being able to boot their device, THIS helped. Its just the normal kernel and a few OCed. I used it to get me into Xterm. Now running 45 stable @ 1.15Ghz.

There's nothing really new in fcam-drivers 1.0.7.2, except a conflict has been added for kernel-power below version 44. So, don't bother updating if you are still on 42 (not that you can yet because it's only in the svn tree, but still)

You could of just flashed the kernel(saved all your apps):
flasher-3.5 -F ''image''--flash-only=kernel -f

e.g(sudo /home/User/Desktop/maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2/flasher-3.5 -F /home/john/Desktop/maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2/RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f ) is what is did.

(hope thats right)

Haven't had any problems with any of the version I've tried (.43,.44,.45). Only with camera in earlier versions, but that was fixed by installing updated fcam drivers.

Code:
N900:~$ grep Revision /proc/cpuinfo | awk ' { print $3 } '
2101
