Ok ok ok, to get rid of your cross-posting in >9000 threads, I'll answer this. :-)

You did not provide any useful information. But anyway, the answer is: reflash COMBINED (rootfs), as this seams to be the only practicable way for you atm imho. You will loose your applications. this is correct. But it shouldn't take too long to reinstall them... You won't loose your Music, Videos, Documents and other stuff which is placed on the MyDocs partition (or probably better known to you as the "N900" item in the file browser). Read this: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

If you are lucky, just flashing the kernel could help you. But there is no way for me to know that since I don't know what you have done. So flash rootfs. unfortunately, sometimes we all have to learn it the hard way :-)

There is a reason why nobody but me has answered you. Next time: Do your research, give us information (what is the last thing you have done, programs you have installed etc.) and finally, stop cross-posting. One thread/post which clearly describes your problem is enough.
Also, take a look at this.
