Looks like you haven't installed the maemo kernels. Try pressing 0 or b from multiboot menu and see if that gets you into maemo, if so, do the instructions to install maemo and power kernels. The item files will create automatically.

P.S This should be in the help thread.

However, I know get errors installing/updating other apps (some packages have unmet dependencies).

It suggests to run apt-get -f install to correct, which just wants to remove kernel-power-settings.

Any suggestions?

What did you try to install? I will have a go and see if I get the same problem. If so, looks like the fix is not a total fix and we will have to do without OC for now.

P.S. Help thread please.

The problem here is that 2.9 breaks dependencies. According to Jay-C he cant hep it as he needs multiboot-power and it conflicts with kernel-power, hence no kernel-power-settings.

Now onto a solution. This works for me - I take no responsibility if you brick your phone. Assume that all these commands need you to be root. You can either sudo gainroot or use sudo. Your call.

First remove kernel-power-settings. We can't keep it in place while we want to install new apps etc.

dpkg -r kernel-power-settings

Next we need to get the contents of the package extracted. First move your kernel-power deb to somewhere temporary.

mv /home/user/MyDocs/kernel-power-settings_0.11_armel.deb /home/user/MyDocs/tmp

(please note if the tmp dir doesnt exist you will need to create it)

Ok now we have it in a temp dir lets extract it.

cd /home/user/MyDocs/tmp
dpkg-deb -x kernel-power-settings_0.11_armel.deb /home/user/MyDocs/tmp

Now you should see in that directory two new dirs. One will be called usr and one called etc

You now need to copy the contents of those folders into the system. For example.

cp /home/user/MyDocs/tmp/etc/event.d/* /etc/event.d

Once you have done this the last step is to change the perms on the two binaries.

chmod +x /usr/sbin/kernel-*

Thats about it. Now keep in mind this means you wont get update notifications about kernel-power etc as you are essentially just copying files and not installing the package itself.

About multiboot:

There are some unexpected issues with multiboot_0.2.9,
so I am recalling the release for the time being.

Sorry about the trouble.
