there are small differences in linuxrc script which is patched by bootmenu. The difference seems to be only related to RX-48 device (i.e. the wimax N810).

So if you need it fast, just extract current initfs flasher and symlink (or even just rename) all those whatever.2008-29.xxx file versions to 2008-36 like
Code:
mv initfs.2008-29.tgz initfs.2008-36.tgz
...
Then it should install.

Or wait for proper update with real patched -36 linuxrc this evening (~ 5 hours from now).

The full linuxrc difference is

366a381
> load_omap_hwrng_module
so the code does something different (seeding random number generator) only for RX-48 device and old linuxrc version should be safe for plain N810 or N800.

EDIT: umm, in fact it looks like it calls this for everything except RX-48 (if [ $? -ne 0 ]) so let's better wait :-) Maybe it will still work but random numbers will have worse quality.
