For questions about development, bugs, etc... write to thread
[Development] kernel-power on http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=78371
Here is also information how to compile kernel, send patches, ...

Thanks pali.

I am a bit ashamed as I am using this kernel already almost half a year (and did not give any feedback to you ).
But now: everything is fine. Never ran into any kind of problem.

I have not done any changes since May, so version in Extras-Devel & Testing should be same, just (re)compiled by Maemo infra.

Thanks @pali

I can confirm that apt-get upgrade'ing from kp52 to kp53 works fine. Note that if you use U-boot and you want to keep it, you have to cancel when asked if OK to replace u-boot with kp53!!!

And I can confirm that an upgrade through FAM works just as well
I had to reboot manually though to load the new kernel.

There is a new dependecy package, fiasco-image-update-ask. Why is it needed and why is it still needed after the reboot? I could not uninstall it, everything depends on it.

-flasher package depends on it. and that package cause user will be asked if some SW/script try to flash *other* kernel (non kernel-power) into nand. It is protection against removing u-boot or kernel-power.

Hmm, that does not seem to work...
Currently I'm at kp52 and Extras Testing is enabled.

HAM does not show any update available at all and after "apt-get update" "apt-get upgrade" says:
So here I pressed "n", but what could be the reason for this situation?

broken dependences. try to use aptitude upgrade

Hi guys. Hope U can help me...

Updated to KP v53 via HAM. Worked like a charm. Restarted device...and it won't boot up. It vibrates, then the Nokia logo appears and than it shut itself off. I have removed battery and tried again, got the same results.
Even have tried to flash it but my computer didn't recognised it. It says "Suitable USB device not found, waiting.".
It looks like it strugles to establish connection to a PC or a charger cuz from time to time it vibrates and than yellow led shines until it happens over and over again. Battery is fully charged and usb port is in order. Don't know what to do, please help.

Edit:

I have succeeded in flashing it. Will install everything and try again.

it's probably just the fiasco-ask-fiasco so just doing "apt-get dist-upgrade" should do it.

Actually, I didn't even know we had aptitude in the repos
