Follow Fabry's guide here to get kernel-power47 patched with uboot.
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=876169&postcount=1

I've written a script to add uboot to power47 automatically, and backup the original. You should be able to copy/paste this into xterm.

This assumes you have power47 as a multiboot item.

Code:

sudo gainroot

cd /home/user

apt-get install -y wget flasher mkimage



#1. Download power kernel deb file from repository and extract fiasco image from it

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/k/kernel-power/kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb -O kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb

dpkg --fsys-tarfile kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb | tar -xf - ./boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco

mv ./boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco /home/user/

rm -r boot

rm kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb



#2. Download Matan's u-boot from repository (it is named u-boot-for-power-kernel) and extract file image from it

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/u/u-boot-for-power-kernel/u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb -O u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb

dpkg --fsys-tarfile u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb | tar -xf - ./usr/lib/u-boot/u-boot.bin.0x38000/u-boot.bin.0x38000

mv ./usr/lib/u-boot/u-boot.bin.0x38000/u-boot.bin.0x38000 /home/user/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47

rm -r usr

rm u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb



#3. Unpack Fiasco image

flasher -u -F zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco

rm zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco



#4. Transform zImage in uImage (necessary because u-boot boots Kernel only in uImage file format)

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 80008000 -e 80008000 -n "Power Kernel v47" -d zImage uImage 



#5. Add power kernel uImage at end of previous file (starting write at offset 0x38000 aka 448 blocks)

dd if=uImage of=vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 seek=448

#6. Remove zImage & uImage

rm zImage

rm uImage



#7. backup and replace Power47

mv /boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak

mv /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak

mv /home/user/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47

Hi DarkGUNMAN,

So I currently have Multi-Boot with four options (Kernel 46, Kernel 47, Nitdroid N11, Nitdroid N12).

Do I still need to follow Fabry's guide or do I just paste your code into X-Term and run and pray.

What will happen to my 4 multi-boot menu items?

I understand Meego uses U-Boot!

At what stage do I follow your instructions - before or after installing Meego to my memory card?

Re: N900 MeeGo CE Summer Edition Released

That post should have said I follwed Fabry's guide.. the link ponts to the orginal but I adapted it.
Just paste the code to automate the process.

Re: N900 MeeGo CE Summer Edition Released

Right, but what of my current menu items? - will I have end up with 5 menu items and when I press on #5 it will take me to U-Boot with an option to boot into Meego or what is it going to do?

Sorry for asking again.
I don't want to try it unless I have an idea. I want to avoid wiping out my nokia n900 as I have too much stuff on it.

Re: N900 MeeGo CE Summer Edition Released

What repo is mkimage in? It's not in extras -devel or -testing from what I can see.

[edit] my bad - stupid HAM destroyed my sources list yet again

And if you fail it would be helpful to post the exact output here how and when you fail... Exact commands please as we otherwise all can just guess if it's unclear ("umount doesn't work" or something vague like that)...
