This Thread is for feedback on A-1 Skyraider kernel. This is not a "How-To thread", this is for serious testers only. Spamming the thread with irrelevance will most likely get you flamed by someone.
Kernels are available. Check your local neighborhood beta testing feed. When posting problems or bugs please specify kernel name and version. This kernel is ever changing and may sometimes not boot. Basic guidelines for install:
After installing kernel, do a full power off. Features in common codebase:
All bug reports should be qualified by running CLI commands to determine it is a kernel problem and not a UI problem. All complaints or crying with no CLI paste will be ignored! Recovery: How To Recover - WebOS Internals Memboot recovery kernel: XXX How to memboot after finding out your device wears pink underwear: Put your device into recovery mode. Newer versions of the SDK will say "HP webOS" in the directory name instead of "Palm". Run novacom: Linux: Code:
/opt/Palm/novacom/novacom boot mem:// < uImage Code:
cd \program files\palm\sdk\bin novacom boot mem:// < uImage Code:

Thanks unixpsycho! 've been running it for about 18 hours. Pretty stable, though I was having a laggy morning that I blame on Govnah using the wrong profile.
At idle I see no difference in power consumption (as one would expect for idle since all kernals should drop to the minimum frequency at idle) at < -10 mA. At load clocked to 1.9 GHz I'm seeing it go as high as about -560 mA. Will run some more prolonged tests to monitor power consumption. So far so good though. My device feels pretty stable, but it noticeably more spirited in my day-to-day tasks.

So far I've lowered the voltage on my unit for the 1.4 and 1.53ghz marks down to 1200Mv and my phone still seems stable. Below 1200, I started getting screen artifacts under highload. I'm working on tweaking the other ranges as well.

So, I'm still on the first kernel, haven't updated to today's update yet, but wanted to note that it seems my MMS picture sending/receiving is broken with this kernel.

It does the exact *opposite* of ondemand, providing barely any lag.
