Do you mean 1) or 2) or both?

I also didn't remove kernel power due to the features and had to accept this issue. It was just annoying that you were not able to reboot your device anymore.

Also check this thread where I noticed this issue (KP v48):
here (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...07#post1088907) I mentioned the problem and the discussion started here (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...16#post1120716).

I try to describe it:

• often it happens alternatively. Shutdown-Reboot-Shutdown-Reboot-Shutdown-Reboot...

• Sometimes when device reboot I’ll see nokia logo, after that black screen(dark blue) and points of starting OS doesnt appear, Device doesnt load & I must push button for long time to shutdown. After turn on device I see the popup like this "unexpected reboot. Your kernel-power setting is not loaded".

I will described only operation with power button & shutdown in popup. I’ll not uses commands in x-term & reboot options

It is your device of course. But a full disclusure of what you have installed at the beginning is always welcome.

I am not saying the reason for having this reboot/shutdown issue is some of those, but the probability is high.

However, to try to provide some info on wtf is going on, you may want to install syslogd and sp-rich-core(google for howto) as your "reboot instead of shutdown" might be caused by a kernel oops and those tools will help identifying that. In the meanwhile you may want to upload your /dev/mtd2 partition.


Btw if you overclock, i'd advise you to disable oc for a while, to see if that would cure the problem. And by "disable" i mean to uninstall all oc apps, widgets, whatever and to remove /etc/default/kernel-power
