Yes, I have multiboot. I had that first, though, because I was playing with Nitdroid way back when. I installed uboot later and flashed the kernel then, so multiboot shouldn't be somehow spontaneously overwriting that, should it?

But that's certainly what it looks like. I mean, I turn it on, and multiboot comes up. All it has is the one maemo entry, because I dumped nitdroid, but that's what I'm getting instead of uboot.

I'll try pali's version. I'm not real up on how that interacts with uboot-pr13. Do I need to uninstall uboot-pr13 first? I'll check around to see if I can glean the info somewhere. Update: Okay, ignore that. I found pali's thread and it's very clear about definitely uninstall....

another update: Looking into it, I remember why I didn't install pali's in the first place: the instructions are fairly confusing for a newbie. Uboot-pr13 was in the extras-devel or -testing repo. (Can't see it now! What's up with that?) The N900 is my only phone and I can't afford to screw it up. If there's a solution that stays with uboot-pr13, I'd be much less nervous!

I wonder if it's worth trying to just uninstall multiboot first?
