i have also just noticed when clicking 'save as' in leafpad on this and any file, leafpad crashes and terminal reports 'Segmentation fault'. this never did this with v27. im definitely having stability problems with v32!
Could not spot anything wrong with it.. it should work. Maybe if you raise the volt little i get's better?

I noticed another thing though.. if i avoid freqs by removing them from my default setting. They will still be avoided while using my temp setting. Even though they are not avoided there.

The only difference between v27 and v32 was the deinstallation script and
removal of two useless USB modules. so it must have been your undervoltage settings?

I need testers for the new v33 kernel that add all the new features from v28 except for
at least two changes (preinit, Multitables) that previously caused some crashes:

Thanks!

please elaborate: what are the two settings and how do you apply them.
does "kernel-config show" show that they are avoided?

I could not replicate your bug.
did you use leafpad as root? maybe it crashes if try to save to a root-owned file?

Yes, i have set up my default to be 250-600mhz. So i thought i could avoid the above 600. I "kernel-config load default" and "kernel-config default default".

"Kernel-config show" looks as it should here with the avoided freqs.

Then i have a starving setting with 250-805mhz and only 125 are avoided. I "kernel-config load starving" but then..

the "kernel-config show" shows 250-850 correct but on the avoided string it still shows the same avoided freqs i have in the default settings.

I'll gladly test, but do we not need kernel-power-headers also?

Bizarrely, mine is still seg faulting too, but only as root. If I "save as" as normal user it's fine?

Kernel v33 is causing similar problems as I had with v28. Not working for me. Kernel v32 OK.

I.e.
- Internal error, camera application closed when opening phone application
- No audio in call, etc...
- Hildon-home crash (Widgets disapprear...)
