1.''add the kernel filename to ubiboot.conf''

now should i replace 'zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix'
with 'zImage_2.6.32.61-plus_20131128' in ubiboot.conf file?
On your Harmattan section of ubiboot.conf, you have 6 slots available for your kernels.
You can put the new kernel you want to on any of the lines.

Remember that you have the setting "G_OS2_NUM=..." also there, that tells ubiboot how many lines to show on the device screen.

original kernel+ this one ?

asking bcoz in kernel thread it is explained for advanced users.
Yes, if you want to have for example just the original kernel and the new kernel plus, your config could maybe look something like this:

# The second OS is usually Harmattan.
# This section lists the Harmattan specific switches and kernels
G_OS2_NUM=2
G_OS2_AUTOBOOT=0
G_OS2_PARTITION=2
G_OS2_NAME="Harmattan"
G_OS2_1_LABEL="my original kernel"
G_OS2_1_FILE="/boot/Harmattan/boot/2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301"
G_OS2_2_LABEL="2.6.32.61 kernel +"
G_OS2_2_FILE="/boot/Harmattan/boot/zImage_2.6.32.61-plus-20131114"
G_OS2_3_LABEL=""
G_OS2_3_FILE=""
G_OS2_4_LABEL=""
G_OS2_4_FILE=""
G_OS2_5_LABEL=""
G_OS2_5_FILE=""
G_OS2_6_LABEL=""
G_OS2_6_FILE=""


And again, of course remember to set up the modules before booting, or else you will fail to boot the new kernel (but of course this will not affect your old kernel, you can always boot with that if you fail to boot the new one...)
