sorry, everything went under /home/boot and /home/etc.. corrected them to /boot and /etc.
Everything is fine now, I get all options for boot images on startup with keyboard open.
The only problem as mentioned some post before is the short time to select.
I will now boot all of them in sequence and report to you.

I also have a 16GB class 10 memory card, partitioned to 1 FAT and 3 more ext3 partitions on which I want to try installing Nemo, Ubuntu and Nitdroid.
Hope I can achieve that with no big pain.

I tried to boot kubuntu, nitdroid and nemo kernel but without success yet. Now I do not have time for testing and finding problem... (maybe in next 4-5 weeks) But my plan is to boot all these systems in u-boot!

booting with keyboard open, I get the following options with booting results:

1. Maemo 5 (Internal Nand) = booting OK
2. Maemo 5 with 2.6.28-omap1-fb = booting OK
3. Maemo 5 with 2.6.28-omap1 = booting OK
4. Maemo 5 with kernel-power 2.6.28.10-power49,pre50 = reboots to U-boot menu
5. Maemo 5 with kernel-power 2.6.28.10-power49 = reboots to U-boot menu
6. U-Boot 2011.12.1 with zimage 2.6.28-omap1 = returns to U-boot menu
7. U-Boot 2011.12.1 = returns back to U-boot menu
8. U-boot console = opens console

Ah, one thing to note: The keyboard must be open before the power key is pressed. With multiboot, it was ok to press powerkey and immediately open keyboard. With U-Boot it doesn't work, keyboard shall be opened first.

Do you have the kernel-power packages (at least kernel-power-modules) installed on your device?
Even if you extracted pali's kernel image to /boot the kernel still needs the modules in /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power49 to work correctly.
Same thing with the 2.6.28.10-power49+pre50 image (but I don't know where to get the modules for pre50).

Edit: If the kernel-power-modules package depends on kernel-power-flasher you may have to reflash the u-boot kernel by reinstalling the u-boot-flasher package.

Thanks, as I said, I started with a completely empty device. Will install kernel-power modules and see what happens.

Nemo works !
I have used u-boot to boot Nemo on eMMC many times.
Probably your attemps have failed because your auto-constructed (by bootmenu style config) boot-args has some options missing.

If someone can guide on how to create u-boot menu items, i am willing to try.

Could you please give details how you managed to get it working?
I had a working Nemo bootable from a combined image with matan's u-boot before I switched to pali's version,

Hi, Pali.
Thanks for the thing, it's awesome!

Looking at u-boot-images.tar.gz, I couldn't find BFS image in it.
Also I couldn't just take an image from kernel-bfs package on my own as it contains only fiasco image.

BFS is no more, try pwck.
