Can you explain how your setup works? Does it reflash a different kernel everytime or what?

thanks!
This is the case. Unfortunately, uboot cannot (to my knowledge) boot the Nitdroid kernel, so I use multiboot for that. Multiboot can flash either the stock kernel, the nitdroid kernel, the power kernel or a version of the stock kernel with uboot installed. Then this kernel is left loaded until the next time I boot with the keyboard open.
Does that help?
