ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.10power37
ITEM_MODULES=ext3 bq27x00_battery
Thanks again mornage

I followed your tip but unfortunately i wasn't able to autoload the module.

I have tried 3 different ways:

1 - i changed /etc/multiboot.d/Maemo-2.6.28.10power37.item as in your last post with no changes in /etc/modules and with no /etc/modules.boot file.
The system booted but the module wasn't loaded.

2 - Then i create a /etc/modules.boot file with:

Code:
#
# modules.boot
#
# List of modules the bootloader (multiboot) shall load.
# 
bq27x00_battery
After rebooting and choosing power37 the system just fails the boot process and i have to reboot omap1.

3 - Then i deleted /etc/modules.boot and changed /etc/modules with:

Code:
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.
bq27x00_battery
The system booted power37 normally but the module bq27x00_battery wasn't autoloaded.

I'm don't know how to use modules.boot.examples and i couldn't find any help about it. I wonder if the file name should have item id like modules.Maemo-2.6.28.10power37.item

Perhaps the developer Jay-C may help on this.
