if the answer is no i now know where i've been going wrong lol
You need to reinstall the kernel - it's stored in a separate location in flash to the rootfs, so isn't backed up or restored by BackupMenu.

New Backupmenu V0.65 has been uploaded to the repos!
It's got a couple of bugfixes and optional password protection!
To enable password protection, run "touch /usr/share/backupmenu/lock-enable.txt" Backupmenu will now ask for your root password upon boot.
If you want another password, you need to add your DES-encrypted password(in the same format as it's stored in /etc/passwd) and only that password(remove linebreaks, and /anything/ but the 13 password characters) to the above file.

THere has been an update for bootmenu-n900 and BootMenu to 1.10.1. How does it affect BackupMenu? I've tried tu update both packages with FAPman but it failed so i did it with the standard one. Your program updated without any problems wih Fapman.

I have no version requirement for bootmenu-n900, just a requirement that it is installed. As such, it should work without issue.

it'd be quite awesome to have this for diablo as well, any chance for that?

@Robbie

There is a statement in the new bootmenu-n900 that it is a dummy package and can be safely removed and that the only purpose for it is a safe transition to bootmenu. I really don't know how to understand it. will bootmenu handel from now the things that bootmenu-n900 did?

if updating to the new version will the old backups from the previous version still restore?

Yup; Basically, all it means is they renamed it.

Yes. Well, if there arn't bugs preventing it, of course.
You'll know if the format change to the point of incompatibility - I'll drop the topic, and make a new one named V3. As well as changee the version completely.

Now, in the futire I will be making some changes that will make new backups not compatible with old versions of BM, but upgrades will always work.

What you want to do is - for each frequency - lock your n900 to that frequency, play a video via mplayer; something that will max out the cpu. If it plays, change the voltage down 1 # and repeat the test. Keep going down until the system crashes or you get decoding errors, then take that value and add two to it. That should be the minimum stable voltage for that frequency.
If you get crashes at a particular frequency later, up the voltage another 1 or 2 if it still has issues.
I'll take an hour or so to calibrate for all frequencys, but it's nice to have no instability.
oh..... sweet!!!! its like im doing a stability test on each freqs:voltages and see what's most stable for me....my deepest, deepest thanks
