Estel,
I am pretty sure in my multiboot configuration, /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power49 is my kernel image, just like /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.07 is my nitdroid kernel image. Remove it, and you can't start your system. Now you say it is a totally different thing. You may be right for a non-multiboot system (then it uses the fiasco image in my opinion), but not in my case.

Please elaborate on this if you can show me I am wrong.
