Isn't that possible?

Which one is going to be more annoying or more prone to breakage, getting you SD card in and out vs making a choice on a bootup menu?

Have you ever taking the sd card out from N900? It is like doing surgery!

Hey bun i have followed post #1 step by step but when i reboot and try to enter the power-kernel (option 2) from the multiboot menu then it freezes at the white "NOKIA" screen and shuts down after about 10 seconds. now if i switch it on the white light stays on and the screen is stuck at white "NOKIA" screen again..

I did a reflash of the kernel and it worked normally again but once i try to go into the power-kernel it does the same again!

Just tried NITdroid today and love it. I know it has been mentioned that it eat battery life, any tips on how I can save battery life while using it?

I used "ideal" presets on the enhanced kernel, is there anything special I need to do to get similar underclocking while using NITdroid. I am really loving Android Marketplace lol

Multiboot works with Titan power45 kernel.

I can multiboot PR1.3, power45, Nitdroid and backupmenu and they all work.

I have power45 installed, but have never installed Nitdroid. can I just use the autoinstaller and things will work out?

The note in the first post doesn't make much sense to me and at any rate seems oriented to people upgrading to power45 from nitdroid and not the other way around.

I'm also interested for such tutorial (u-boot & power45 + Nitdroid + MeeGo).

I also did install multiboot / Nitdroid when i had the stock PR1.2 installed.
The magic of multiboot is that i can return to the stock kernel by just rebooting with the keybord open and pressing B key.
Some days ago i had PR1.2 / Nitroid 0.0.8 and power 40 installed.
As i wanted to upgrade to PR1.3 and just to be on the safe side i installed backupmenu as a multiboot item and made a complete system backup.
After, to upgrade to PR1.3, i just booted to PR1.2 and made an OTA upgrade with no problems. Multiboot nitroid backupmenu and all my other apps were still there and working. At last i replaced the old power40 boot image and modules with version 45.

I think you can install multiboot / nitdroid with power45 installed but then if you reboot with B key you will not return to stock kernel but to power45.

Take a look at the following links that have all the info you may need:

Multiboot/Nitdroid-Autoinstaller

nitdroid forum

Install backupmenu as a multiboot item

My gratitude and credits to multiboot / nitroid developer team, Titan, RobbieThe1st, Rob1n and maemo community.

If you installed multiboot / nitdroid over stock kernel press B key or 0 (number zero) key when booting.

Guys I need some info. If I understand right, multiboot reflashes kernel each time we switch the OS (Maemo <--> NITdroid)? With u-boot we avoid this?

Check if you have these files:

/etc/multiboot.d/00-Maemo-2.6.28-omap1.item

/boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1

and this dir:

/lib/modules/2.6.28-omap1

thanks for the info and the links, but my big concern is how the multiboot that is set up by the nitdroid autoinstaller interacts with the uboot that power45 installed. has anyone tried installing in this order (first uboot (independently or via power kernel), then multiboot via nitdroid)?

You have to install multiboot-kernel-maemo_0.3-1_armel from:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d....3-1_armel.deb

It will create the maemo kernel - missing vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1 file.

That was made for PR1.2.
It seams it still works with PR1.3 but it is not the PR1.3 kernel.

If you have PR1.3 installed you may extract the PR1.3 kernel from the bin file (credits to OptX).

Download RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
from
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php

Download and install the latest version of the Flasher for your PC
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d...-downloads.php

Execute in your PC:

Code:

flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -u
Rename the resulting zImage file to vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1 and copy it to /boot/multiboot/ directory in your N900.

Good luck :)

Hi guys. I'd just like to show my appreciation and say thank you to all who have helped on this project and to the main developers. To see what stage NITDroid it at now from the very begining you have worked very har. I'm trying to get my head around Linux atm I've always been a windows boy. Now I have Zorin on my machine I'm trying to get a bit more techy with the whole Ubuntu/Maemo. If you need anything testing with a UK phone UK PR 1.3 UK sim etc. Then let me know, thank's for the hard work.

I suspect something went wrong with Nitroid installation in your SD card as it hangs at boot.
What SD card and size do you have? I remember there are problems with some Sandisk types.
See this guide and try to reinstall.

hard camera key - home
lockslide - options

Nitroid is just Android for the N900. If it isn't a feature of Android, it likely won't be possible in Nitdroid. You'd be better off asking questions like that in an Android forum.

there are some apps which emulate multitasking in the android market but there is nothing that is anywhere near maemo multitasking. It's the most frustrating part of android.iphone is the same.just can't do it. it's the software.
