Stuck with Meego and cant return to Maemo.

Since for power Kernel the .item file is linked with the zImage and not vmlinuz i replaced the file supplied by Fabry and rename it to the zImage-2.6.28.10-power48 and replaced the existing one created by bootimg and on restarting the phone the u-boot started. but later came till Starting Kernel and phone Freezes.

i later inserted the SD card with Meego image on in and restarted the phone and the phone could boot in Meego. but i cant find any way going back to Maemo. I tried the Run noloboot but same stucks at Starting Kernel.

Any suggestion / help.

After installing the kernel Power (Bootimg) zImage-2.6.28.10-power48 is created in the /boot folder.

I than just created the .item file in the /Multiboot.d folder and it worked, i am able to boot in Power Kernel, but just for your info i tried your above steps where in if i Change the name of zImage file to Vmlinuz the phone doesn't boot in power kernnel.

This means the multiboot tries to find the zImage instead of the Vmlinuz. Any idea why would this be in my case, is this due to some changes in the new Bootimg i reinstalled?

Just to summarise

After creating the .item file for Power Kernel

1) zImage-2.6.28.10-power48 file in /Boot/Multiboot (system boots in power kernel)
2) zImage-2.6.28.10-power48 file in /Boot (system boots in power kernel)
3) zImage-2.6.28.10-power48 file copied to /Boot or /boot/Multiboot and renamed to vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power48 (system will not boot in power kernel)
