I downgraded to v27 and am still experiencing the leafpad segmentation fault but only when using 'save as' as root also. as normal user is also fine for me. very strange.

Im still confused as to why my up threshold, sampling rate and ignore nice load are changing on boot. Where are the defaults saved to when using the 'kernel-config setdefault' command. Maybe if i look at whats being saved there then i can establish why they are changing upon every boot?

the leafpad problem is not related to the kernel.

If some other program sets the governer to ondemand, then its settings are reset to default.
is your /etc/pmconfig reset to defaults?

the defaults are in /etc/default/kernel-power

Now i'm just really confused! looking through titans script

/usr/sbin/kernel-config

i cannot see why the values keep changing on reboot. Sure enough the script when setting defaults puts myxlv3 (my settings) in

/etc/default/kernel-power

and when i read this in leafpad, all the values are correct! my phone just refuses to load them all correctly at boot. max and min frequencies load. but not ignore nice load, up threshold or sampling rate. where on earth is it reading

up threshold = 75
sampling rate = 150000
ignore nice load = 0

????

Time to reflash?!

AHHH!!!! lol

it seems some features are still causing trouble.
I've uploaded a new version (same place) with a few more disabled.

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!

Titan,
i uninstalled cpufrequi thinking this could be changing the governer on boot, but this was not the problem. My pmconfig file reads the following:

# Power management configuration file
enable_off_mode 1
sleep_while_idle 1
sr_vdd1_autocomp 0
sr_vdd2_autocomp 0
clocks_off_while_idle 1
voltage_off_while_idle 1
scaling_governor ondemand
scaling_max_freq 950000
scaling_min_freq 250000
sleep_ind 1

Perhaps this is the problem? I really cannot think of any program which would be changing the governer?!

I will test out your v33 later to help with the development. Thank you for your help.

then reset pmconfig
http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#U....3C_maemo24.29

do you have some very old custom scripts in /etc/event.d ? (from the early days when kerne-power-settings did not exit)

nope, ondemand is set in myxlv3 config file also.

It just doesnt seem to 'fully' load on boot. but when using kernel-config load myxlv3 in xterm, all loads fine.

titan you may have hit the nail on the head. In event.d i have alot of files but im guessing the ones in question are "kernel-modules", "kernel-power" and "kernel-power-shutdown"?

Am i right?! and what should i do?! haha!

EDIT: and by the way i defaulted pmconfig with no luck, still same problem

EDIT 2- i think i found the problem!! ondemand-config script in that directory. can i just delete it? and do you know which other scripts are old and can be deleted? damn you're good!
