Hi, Got it! Thanks. It is now at 990.68 MIPS with the newer kernel.
If anyone else gives this a try, for some reason I had to un tar the dtbs file with a suffix tar -xzvf <filename.tar.gz> --no-same-owner without the --no-same-owner I was getting 'ownership' errors.

Apparently I'm not setting CODENAME properly (or > something). I've never upgraded a kernel before so am pretty lost. Those instructions are for an x86 PC, not a BeagleBone. I always just upgrade the kernel by hand. Use wget and download the appropriate kernel files: http://www.machinekit.net/deb/wheezy-armhf/v3.8.13xenomai-bone41/ Grab all four files that start with 3.8.13xenomai* Copy the *.zImage file to /boot/uboot/zImage cd to / (the root directory) and extract the *modules.tar.gz file cd to /lib/firmware and extract the *.firmware.tar.gz file cd to /boot/uboot/dtbs and extract the *dtbs.tar.gz file Reboot, and verify you're running the new kernel (uname -a) and the CPU speed is 1 GHz (cat /proc/cpuinfo). -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
