I thought the only thing needed from power kernel was that it be compiled with the cfg80211 (or whatever it's called) module, to be compatible with Lxp's stuff? The rest of the bleeding edge fanciness is just manually loading the right modules, no? Or is there something to do with compat or whatever that the injection driver requires?
I.E. See this post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=41
Other than that, keep up the great work. If I could, I'd help with integrating the bleeding edge wifi patches into your kernel version, but it's way outside my skills.
The moment you do though, I'm jumping on to this kernel. Not willing to give up injection just yet, but framebuffer is always better than no framebuffer. For those who have gotten to a framebuffer console mid-boot, does the keyboard actually provide you with right buttons.

I installed this, following Erazor's post, around page 7. Looks good.
Sometimes my LCD lights up red, lower left side of phone -- never saw that before. The savecpu program says actual temperature is 0, obviously wrong. All seems fine, in general.

@ Pali, so basically it is Power-kernelv46 with a few bug fixes. very well done. any future plans (patches etc) on this project?

You only have like 15 posts and already you have contributed more than most of the 500+ post spam/whinge/noobs.
This makes you a good person in need of 'thanks!' buttoning.

Could you possibly make a package with entry for multiboot?

/boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10pali1 - your zImage file

Next is needed to automatize building patched wifi driver (running with dpkg-buildpackage) for creating deb package (or include it in power-kernel deb package).
I contacted author of wl1251 patches. Now we are deciding how to distribute wifi module...

misiak, I was trying the same method earlier, the same way u mentioned in the noob guide but to no avail. I cannot get 2.6.68.10pali1 to boot. I can boot only to Maemo PR1.3 and NIITDroid Vostok.
When selecting option to power kernel, the N900 does not seems to flash the kernel area with the power kernel and it just gets stuck in a black blank screen..
I really needs power kernel for hostmode and many other features..
The /lib/modules, /boot/multiboot and /etc/multiboot.d seems fine with same reference to kernel.
I do not know where i am doing wrong :-(

If you want to replace kernel-power, you should also consider creating a package that replaces package "multiboot-kernel-power" with contents:
/boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10pali1 - your zImage file, but it has to have the same name as folder in /lib/modules
/etc/multiboot.d/01-Maemo-kernel-power46.item - multiboot menu entry, same as in my post here on page 8 of this thread
/usr/share/doc/multiboot-kernel-power/copyright (see this file in multiboot-kernel-power_0.3-1_armel.deb for reference)
/usr/share/doc/multiboot-kernel-power/changelog.Debian.gz (see this file in multiboot-kernel-power_0.3-1_armel.deb for reference)
And basically that's all to have a package for your kernel working with multiboot. Than, if one wants to install your kernel and use it with multiboot - just install kernel package, modules package, flasher package and than yours multiboot-kernel-power package
