Welcome to the EternityProject Olympus Kernel Thread!
What is it?
It is a kernel with some updates on Tegra2 and Cortex A9 management drivers.
Why should I flash it?
You should flash it only if you know what are you doing.
If you know what are you doing, you shouldn't ask this question.
Flashing methods:
1. Copy eternityproject_vx.x.img into your fastboot folder and do this:
OR
2. Download the update.zip version and flash it through ClockWorkMod Recovery.
Installing Modules (Only for method 1):
Features:
-- Stock frequencies
-- Optimized/Modified Tegra 2 Drivers
-- Modified Cortex-A9 (Tegra 2 core)'s cache behavior. Great results on tests.
Changelog:
Actual recommended ROM (FroYo):
AP: Version.4.2.11.MB860.Retail.en.FR - OSHWT_U1_6.54.0 - OLYEM_U4_2.1.1
BP: 01.97.00R (just 'cause this version works for me)
Actual recommended ROM (Gingerbread):
AP: Aura 1.2.2.1 (or later)
BP: 01.97.00R (just 'cause this version works for me)
If you come from faux123's kernel:
An user has kindly reported that there's a procedure to follow for making WiFi to work with other kernels (EternityProject included!)
Have a read at this:
Known problems and solutions:
1. Random reboots: This happens only when you put your phone in sleep mode when WiFi is enabled. There are two solutions:
*** A. Turn off WiFi prior sending your device in sleep mode
*** B. Go in WiFi settings, press Menu, then Advanced. Set your WiFi Sleep Mode switch to NEVER. This won't put the WiFi chip in sleep mode when enabled and your device is in sleep mode.
*** C. Install a software like JuiceDefender (or others) that will shut down your WiFi when you put your device to sleep.

EternityProject Kernel v1.0 FroYo - update.zip for CWM: MegaUpload
!!NEW!!
EternityProject Kernel v1.4 Gingerbread EXT4 1.4GHz - update.zip for CWM: MegaUpload
EternityProject Kernel v1.4 Gingerbread EXT4 1.5GHz - update.zip for CWM: MegaUpload
The kernel will convert your /system partition to EXT4 (if it still isn't EXT4) and boot from it.
IMPORTANT: Flash the 01.97.00R Radio or you'll have WiFi problems (random reboots)!!!
Note2: The CWM update will automatically install Kernel+Modules.
Note3: The kernel doesn't work on Motorola's official 1.8.3 due to board management incompatibilities. The GINGERBREAD Kernel is highly experimental and unstable.
Note4: If you flash the EXT4 kernel and you want to go back to EXT3, you'll have to reflash your system partition via FastBoot or RSD(SBF)!
Note5: Don't play with voltages on SetCPU unless you really know what you are doing: you can cause unstabilities.

If you come from faux123's kernel:
An user has kindly reported that there's a procedure to follow for making WiFi to work with other kernels (EternityProject included!)
Thanks to joeavery for publishing these directions.Thanks Kholk, you pointed me in the right direction. I was able to get WIFI working after flashing back to the stock kernel provided by faux.
Directions:
If you are useing Faux123's kernel Try this:
Flash the stock kernel he provides on his site.
Before reboot remove SIM card (this may not be nessasary)
Boot and Check airplane mode (this too may not be nessasary)
Shut down and install Kholk's kernel.
It worked for me.
Have a read at this:
Thanks to stewartsoda for pointing this out.Repeat after me: HIGH VOLTAGE = HIGH TEMP. HIGH TEMP = UNSTABLE.
The problem is temperature. There are process variations in different revs and batches of silicon that will cause them to react differently to higher than spec voltage. Some batches will deal with it fine. Some will create a bunch of extra heat.
The overclock can fail for two reasons: 1. Not enough voltage: the rise/fall time of the signal is too slow at the given voltage/frequency. 2. Too much voltage: the chip produces too much heat and (in this case) the phone shuts itself down.
Because of process variations neither of the limits are constant. Kholk's voltage settings are intentionally high so you can undervolt and find the lowest stable voltage.
This is similar to PC overclocking, but not the same. Imagine if you were overclocking your PC and the core voltage was 1.2V and 3 GHz stock. You wouldn't immediately try for 4.5GHz @ 2.0V would you?
Unless you roll your own kernel you have no control over the voltage settings. You can't overvolt, only undervolt. so Kholk's kernel defaults to the HIGHEST POSSIBLE STABLE VOLTAGE, which will be unstable DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURE for many users.
Known problems and solutions:
1. Random reboots: This happens only when you put your phone in sleep mode when WiFi is enabled. There are two solutions:
*** A. Turn off WiFi prior sending your device in sleep mode
*** B. Go in WiFi settings, press Menu, then Advanced. Set your WiFi Sleep Mode switch to NEVER. This won't put the WiFi chip in sleep mode when enabled and your device is in sleep mode.
*** C. Install a software like JuiceDefender (or others) that will shut down your WiFi when you put your device to sleep.
