Hi , i installed PR 1.3 when it came out. Now i am trying to over clock my N900 a little. I had previously overclocked it when i had PR1.2.

I followed these steps :

Downloaded the following 3 via application manager from extras-devel
1. rootsh
2. enhanced linux kernel for power users
3. enhanced linux kernel for power users (settings)

Once they were installed rebooted the device.
Once rebooted opened the xterminal, and tried to run the following commands:

sudo gainroot
kernel-config load ideal

When i run the last command, i get the following msg : "This kernel version 2.6.28-omap1 is not supported. 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' ".

I am not sure if i am suppose to install this kernel-power.

Kindly guide me what do i have to do to fix this? Are there any other steps i need to perform to overclock in PR 1.3? Thanks.

try this
root
apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power kernel-power-flasher

restart the phone

sudo gainroot
kernel-config load ideal

should work. the problem is that custom kernel hasnt loaded up..
This kernel version 2.6.28-omap1 (this is the default kernel)

Tried it and still the same problem. I have the nitrod installer app installed but i have not yet installed the OS. Could that be a problem?

I tried to uninstall the nitrod installer but i cant. I dont get the option to uninstall it from the app manager. When i tap the nitrod installer package in the app manager, under the uninstalling tab it says "Unable to uninstall Nitrod installer".

Any suggestions please?

I just have the installer. I have not installed the Nitrod OS yet as i donot have a SD card. And no, i have not installed power kernel after installing PR1.3 . Today was my first time.

Well i was going to install it but some how i am not able to connect my N900 to my wifi-modem. I was planning to get a new wifi-modem and install it then. Downloading the OS on my default gprs connection would take ages. So was sort of postponing it.

it easier to install kernel before you install nitdroid

so remove nitdroid for now

root
apt-get remove nitdroid-installer

then reinstall kernel

apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power kernel-power-flasher
