Same $%^& problem!

When I installed NITDroid the overclocked kernel stoped working!

Please make sure that kernel-power is installed and running.
If you have just installed the kernel, you need to shutdown and boot to activate it.
To reinstall the power user kernel run:
'apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power kernel-power-flasher'
Have uninstall and reinstalled with no luck
Tried versions 37 to 40
Have reflashed phone twice the annoying thing is it did work
a few weeks ago with version 37 until i updated to version 39
Can access phone by via winscp is there anyway to manualy
delete all trace of the kernel and start again.

Any help please

Hmm, maybe an old question but is there upgraded ULV Lehto 800-850 kernels for pr 1.2

Old one works fine and I am not gonna change to Titans salad.

some devices are capable of handling lower voltages, so if starving does not work, then ideal w/c is the second low voltage settings might work for you, about 90% chance.

i overclock up to 1.15ghz, and its so awesome!!!!!

After trying to understand all the different ways through all these pages , I have done this :

1. Launch xterminal
2. Sudo gainroot
3. kernel-config load lv
4. kernel-config limits 250 850
5. kernel-config save ideal_850
6. kernel-config default ideal_850

7 kernel-config default default (resets kernel back to original 600)

Queen Beecon widget is far to complicated for me and extremly unclear,

So I tried this using two scripts

#1 'default_kernel.desktop' placed in /usr/share/applications/hildon

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=default kernel
Exec=osso-xterm "sh /opt/scripts/reset_default"
Icon=
X-Window-Icon=
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=false
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

________________

and the second script
#2 named 'reset_default' placed in /opt/scripts

echo Your Nokia N900 kernel is being reset
sudo gainroot
kernel-config default default
echo Your Nokia Kernel is reset to default

I have created little blue widget named 'default kernel' on my desktop which takes me to the echo line 'Your Nokia N900 kernel is being reset', but then asks me for a password, which I don't normaly have when using sudo gainroot, so I'm stuck

any ideas ?

As a newbie in Linux, maybe I'm way of, for info when i type in 'sudo gainroot' in xterm it works just great

Can nobody answer my question concerning the password ?

My device is able to handle 1.15ghz starving, but I am affraid to leave it at more than 805mhz. Will there be side effects at 1ghz starving as everyday profile???

No, no one is able to answer. You are probably ok, but there is no guarantee. You are expecting someone to pop up and say "oh, yes, I guarantee you will be fine! Just send me the bill if you have any problems!"

Ain't gonna happen.

What kernel version? 1.15 Ghz?
I'm with titan v3.7 and N900 is warm.

No no, I just want to have a picture of how safe it can be running at that frequency, starving profile as default I don't need anyone to guarantee. If I didn't know the possible risks, I wouldn't overclock in the first place
But thanks for the laugh
