In x-term:

This fixed my problem, radio works fine again. Hope this helps.

Thanks mate, it worked for me also.

Hostmode in theory should not cause any issues with FMRX. The FMRX is the same chipset that controls bluetooth which is a broadcom based. It might be a good idea to check `dmesg' (via X Terminal) to see any potential reasons why.

I've noticed that people have been having problems with their Nokia N900 not having radio after the PR 1.3 update.
I've managed to get my radio turned back on. Here's how. Please follow the instructions on the following MyNokiaBlog website except
flash the necessary .bin files and Z-Image files at the following associated sites:

http://mynokiablog.com/2010/06/02/ho...-v10-2010-19-1

Cut and paste into your browser the addresses from where to get the files that will re-enable your N900's built-in radio.

RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin from URL_REMOVED

RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin from URL_REMOVED

Download an image to make your N900 faster at 900 mHz -it defaults at 600 mHz. The operative command line is:

flasher-3.5.exe -k zImage-900mhz -f -R

zImage-900mhz from URL_REMOVED

Install the fmradio.install app from Maemo's Repository after you have flashed the N900 with everything else.

fmradio.install from http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...mradio.install

Is there any expert can help me to fix this problem
Your help is highly appreciated.

I was getting the same problem after installing kernel-power latest version (53). I did the following to fix it.

Not sure if these steps will work for others, but documenting anyway as it worked for me.

1. Uninstalled kernel-power and reinstalled stock kernel after making a backup of the radio kernel module.

$ cp /lib/modules/current/radio-bcm2048.ko ~/radio-bcm2048.ko.new

2. Rebooted.
3. Copied the radio kernel module of stock kernel to home directory.

$ cd /lib/modules/current
$ sudo cp radio-bcm2048.ko ~
4. Installed kernel-power again.
5. Copied the stock version of radio kernel module back to /lib/modules/current .

$ cd /lib/modules/current
$ sudo cp ~/radio-bcm2048.ko .
6. Rebooted.

Upon reboot and launching FM radio, you will get the same error since the old module won't load in the new kernel. Now,

7. Copy back the actual module again.

$ sudo cp ~/radio-bcm2048.ko.new /lib/modules/current/radio-bcm2048.ko
8. Load it

$ sudo modprobe radio-bcm2048

9. A dmesg shows me the following messages.

[ 2177.886901] radio_bcm2048: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
[ 2181.590332] radio_bcm2048: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
[ 2230.163513] I2C driver for BCM2048 FM Radio Receiver
[ 2230.202178] bcm2048 3-0022: BCM2048 Version 0x0

The same message comes but the module is loaded now correctly.

I am listening to FM radio using kernel-power53 while writing this post.
