Type sudo gainrout and then kernel-config load ideal.
if you include /usr/sbin/ you dont have to be root

Hi folks,

Am a bit of a newbie when it comes to overclocking but i have have installed V28. Everything looks ok apart from when i reboot it goes back to orriginal settings. I have done the following:

installed pr 1.2 then installed the Enhanced Linux kernel for power users v2.6.28-maemo24.

then i installed rootsh opened x terminal and typed:

/usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal

then i typed:

rm -f /etc/default/kernel-power
ln -s /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal /etc/default/kernel-power



all appeared to work but upon reboot it went back to 600mhz


i then tried the same as above and then also tried this command:

/usr/sbin/kernel-load

again all looked ok but on reboot it has gone back to 600mhz instead of the ideal 850mhz

can anyone help me please?
in default, the kernels revert back to stock settings (250/600mhz) which is normal (and safer) you would need the help of Queen Beecon application to help you control the overclocking. to make it permanent try browsing through this

im really thankful of your patience, to tell you honestly, i saw your post the third time. so i try, in the best of my knowledge, to help. everything you need is on the wiki, browsing this thread will take forever.

since i can't get the stable enhanced kernel to work when rebooting would updating to the version in devel be advisable?

v28 you mentioned is a non-stable one, i highly recommen (even titan will do) to update to v37. as i said, titan's kernels revert back to stock settings after reboot (which is normal) so you have to follow the instructions from the wiki to make your desired settings permanent.

i dont make my settings permanent, for the reason that i still need the stock kernel settings.

i have v37 now installed....can i use the same settings for configuring the kernel settings (of the stable version from extras)?

/usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal

&

rm -f /etc/default/kernel-power
ln -s /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal /etc/default/kernel-power

after running the first command /usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal i got the following message:

warning this command is depreciated, executing: kernel-config load /usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal
loading /usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal
succesfully loaded.

then i put the command:

rm -f /etc/default/kernel-power
ln -s /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal /etc/default/kernel-power


is that ok?

do i need any other commands to make the overclock permanant?

i suggest /usr/sbin/kernel-config load ideal (no need to be root)

others are okay,
