I have noticed a strange fault.. I get a reboot when trying 250-850-xlv-maemo21 and 250-900-xlv-maemo21 but it's stable at 250-810-xlv-maemo21 and 250-950-xlv-maemo21.

I would guess it has with the voltage settings but as i understand it.. the 810 is on low voltage, the 850 is on normal voltage and the 900 is on the same as 950 which is overvoltage. It is strange it works good on 950 but not 900 as they are on the same voltage.

Can you also provide tables of the voltages you use in LV and ULV kernels?

thx for the info im using the temp method and didnt change the pmconfig.. but now im using the

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

and its showing up 800000 even though i have not exectuted the code and have already rebooted it.. so is the kernal i installed already overclocking i installed the ULV CPU: 250mhz / 375mhz / 500mhz / 800mhz / ((1000mhz))
DSP: 90mhz / 180mhz / 360mhz/ 400mhz / 460mhz

and im also using the Desktop Command Execution Widget to execute a different speed such as 500000 and its not changing the max.. and i dont have other execution widgets with the same code..

The meaning of the voltages (first column):
Code:
stock/normal kernel
30 = 0x1e = 0.975V x 0 MHz = 0
XLV kernel:
30 = 0x1e = 0.975V x 0 MHz = 0
I have verified that the customized voltages are actually used.
feel free to play with it.
I'm now uploading it to extras-devel.
Do you need this? OPP1 is the voltage at 125MHz so why do you need a 0MHz voltage as it is not going to change anything? I also notice that you have nudged the voltages up compared to ideal. Did that fix your reboot issue? (though of course, given that everything is configurable, it doesn't really matter)

went back to the 810Mhz and works fine for web surffing video playing and etc.
guess you were right any higher than that it reboots itself or the device just lags simple tasks
thanks
gonna stick to 810Mhz XLV

it's included in the stock table. don't know whether it has any effect.

67 = 0x43 = 1.438V x 1100 MHz = 2273
72 = 0x48 = 1.500V x 1150 MHz = 2588

ahha, so this would explain why i couldnt run psx4all at 1100 but it runs ok at 1150!

Try the 950mhz.. it worked for me.

Titan: I updated and tried the new kernel from the extra-devel repo. Not booting. The settings in /etc/pmconfig should not make a problem right? Have no clue why this happen.. used the 250-810-xlv-kernel prior this.

titan: why does scaling_min_freq still gets overridden to 125000 after a phone call, but max_freq doesn't? I'm using latest ulv kernel. I think you should disable this like it is disabled for max_freq.
