This is a bit of topic, but my entries look like this (you can try to mount rootfs from arch or something and compare, as my first guess is you have e.g. "ITEM_REUSEATAGS" instead of "ITEM_OMAPATAG") (I have u-boot 2012.04-2):
/etc/bootmenu.d/30-Maemo5-2.6.28-omap1.item:
Code:
ITEM_NAME="Maemo 5 with 2.6.28-omap1"
ITEM_KERNEL="2.6.28-omap1"
ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"
/etc/bootmenu.d/20-Maemo5-kernel-power-2.6.28.10-power51.item:
Code:
ITEM_NAME="Maemo 5 with kernel-power 2.6.28.10-power51 (Internal Nand)"
ITEM_KERNEL="2.6.28.10-power51"
ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"
ITEM_MODULES="softcursor bitblit font fbcon"
and I have files /boot/zImage-2.6.28-omap1 and /boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power51 and directories /lib/modules/2.6.28-omap1 and /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power51 and somehow also /lib/modules/2.6.28.10maemo-omap1 (is that last one really needed btw?)
You may also need some additional data in ITEM_MODULES or other extra fields if you have nonstandard setup.

Edit: Does it boot when you have you keyboard closed? (it should boot to Maemo with attached kernel, by default 2.6.28-omap1)
