Root [Kernel]OptimusM OC stock 2.2.1

Alrighty, I'm currently compiling a new kernel with 729600 KHz as the max clock speed and ondemand as the default profile so we shall see if this helps any of you who are having the boot loops. I also added ext4 support. I could have sworn the stock kernel had it but those flags were not present in the kernel's .config file. I removed a couple of useless modules as well so hopefully we save a few K here and there. I'll update the OP as soon as its done compiling....I'm wishing I would have made my 4-core multilib...this dual core takes forever to compile!!!@

dude I still cannot repack my boot.img, I'm pming you :|

@the 2.2.1 mistake
yea yea I know! but no one has come up with an identifier for the difference between the phones that came with 2.2 and the ones that came with 2.2.1. we still don't truely know the difference why there is a differnece.

... or do we?

rOCK for MS690v2?

@new optimus
just to be sure, is that boot.img from the OEM 2.2?

I have been eyeing the intel i52500k As much as I would love the i7 its not in my price range, the i5 will stretch the budget but it might be doable. lol

wish i could afford anything intel haha. im rockin an AMD phenom II 4x 2.85 overclocked to 3. But my laptop Im working on is only a dual. Just finished compiling, gonna test it and hopefully upload it.

The boot I posted a link to is 2.2.1 the teamchickeneater rom. That is what I run for everyday stability. I would love to have it overclockable.
I don't have a phone that came stock with 2.2

You have a newer cpu then I have lol
Right now I have my home server running amd athlon 64 dual core 4400+ toledo core running ubuntu headless server and I have another athlon 64 dual core 3800+ running a mediapc with windows 7 media center. then I have a athlon 64 single core that normally runs ubuntu desktop but I had to cannibalize its power supply to get my server back up.
Then my newest running windows 7 all purpose is a intel core 2duo 6600 pretty decent dual core but falling way behind the times now. lol I overclocked of course. started at 3.45ghz but I moved to florida and its a bit warmer so I turned the clocks back to 3.3 from a stock of 2.33 im not unhappy with it.

Should I stick with the original kernel. Everything is working and stable at 806

Nope, im just gonna keep askin....

I just noticed reppard said he was gonna test and upload many hours ago and wondered the status, maybe I could help him test, I was one of the few having the weird issues.

Don't need to be telling people what to do son, I got it.

Please do not ask for ETA's. I do this in my free time. I said i was going to test and guess what happens when you test sometimes? Something goes wrong. I worked 3 hours overtime before I started compiling that kernel and after it failed it was bed time. The new one has been uploaded. Knock yourself out.

Wasn't askin for an ETA, just kinda wondering what was up. Had the time to help test this morning if there was issues.

I'm on topic...

Just went in, wiped all data except ext3, flased rom, rebooted, wiped dalvik, flashed r.O.C.K., get the same log...

Here's how I'm keeping it cool under the collar.

Running solid thus far this morning at 787/480 interactive. No random crashes yet this morning. Temperature activated scaling is working fine with my above settings.

I am stable at 729 at any temperature. Once the metered temp (it says battery temp but pretty sure the sensor is between the battery and board and is registering the mean temp of both) hits the high to mid-20 C's my stability starts to tank. But that was yesterday's kernel.

I'm still singing along this morning at 787 on the rOCK v.3. It hasn't even produced enough heat to hit my first governor profile.

My Dalvik cache doesn't seem to be flooded on this kernel, either. For shits and grins, I wiped it earlier after booting and running the new kernel. It cleared almost instantly like it always had before. That's why I was asking if reppard changed anything else besides the clocks, this seems to be a more efficient kernel from face value.

I am still not certain what's happening behind the scenes.
