do you have multiboot installed?

Re: Help is really really needed,, unable to boot maemo
 

yes :) :) :) :)

ok and if you starting your phone didnt the multiboot menu comes up?
did you try it with keyboard open/close?

Re: Help is really really needed,, unable to boot maemo

hmmm did you tried o took the battery out for a moment?
i dont want to make you sad but for me it looks like you will have to flash your phone...

It should be fixable if multiboot is working. Try powering up your N900 with open keyboard to enter multiboot menu. In the menu press 0 (zero) or B to emergency boot Maemo. If it does not work try to post back a detailed description what happens. Also if you won't be able to boot Maemo could you try pressing S in multiboot menu and check if it gives you access to shell?

If all fails there is still hope. You can always boot Meego rescue kernel with rescue initrd and try to manually fix your Maemo installation. This can be tricky but there are plenty knowlegdeable guys on #nitdroid-help and #nitdroid freenode IRC channels to ask for further help.

Edit: link to rescue initrd with instructions

imgetting this too,

- uprgraded to pr1.3
- autoinstalled nitdroid to microSD
- installed powerkernel
- installed multiboot with the code down there \/
- got libpurple0 dpendancy issues (pidgin it appears)
- updated powerkernel today (42)
- installed multiboot again with the below (killed off pigin and got the right libpurple0 to do this)

I now have the option to boot to powerkernel from the multiboot menu but when i try i get this:
- standard kernel version still boots fine tho. Tried running the multiboot --reinstall again to no avail

any help will be reciprocated with virtual hugs, thanks and the beaming of positive thoughts . . :D

same guru meditation message after upgraded to v.4.2 titan kernel.Multiboot is $%^ up.Everything is set right in /etc/boot and multiboot but it still refuses to boot the new kernel.What the hell is going on?

Re: Help is really really needed,, unable to boot maemo
 

as pointed out here


all fixed and booting, reporting right with kernel-config show when i select power at boot

embarasingly simple i guess the new flasher wasnt there to be run without the upgrade ... i get it easy cos of multiboot i think, i could boot into standard kernel still, if you can get into maemo id try doing the above cos youll need the new kernel power flasher
