It didn't work for me either, same reboot loop on OS2008 diablo.
I uninstalled the deb and managed to successfully boot kde directly doing the following:

1. change /etc/rc2.d/S51hildon-desktop to /etc/rc2.d/K51hildon-desktop
2. create a file in /etc/init.d/kde with the following content:

Code:
#! /bin/sh

SCRIPT=/usr/local/bin/stopmaemo
SU=`which su`

if [ "x${SU}" != "x" ]
then
   SUUSER="${SU} - user"
fi

case "$1" in
start)
        $SUUSER $SCRIPT
   sleep 8
        ;;

stop)
        echo "$0: not implemented"
        exit 1
        ;;
restart)
        echo "$0: not implemented"
        exit 1
        ;;
force-reload)
        echo "$0: not implemented"
        exit 1
        ;;
*)      echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
3. Make sure the script has -x permission.

Code:
chmod +x /etc/init.d/kde
4. Created a symlink in rc2.d in order to start kde at the end of the boot process:

Code:
cd /etc/rc2.d
ln -s ../init.d/kde S99kde
And that's it. When I select the external card on the bootloader kde loads directly. I still have to fix the issue that if you log out of kde, it starts hildon-desktop instead of shutting down.

hope this helps someone.
