Ok I'm confused now so I'll write shortly what I have done.

I was using kernel-power before and decided to install Nitdroid with this guide:
http://www.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install

It didn't boot at the first time so (blinkink "-" in the corner) so I replaced /and files and works fine.

My only problem is that I can not boot to maemo with kernel-power. I can only choose nitdroid and maemo default kernel(via 0)

I have no item in boot menu and i thought this unworking link:
http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...power37.tar.gz is the boot menu entry.

This topic is huge and i can't find what i need to do to boot in kernel-power. Is it matter of menu entry or I need to do semething else?

What was the contend of missing archive?

OK, got ya. It's missing the item file and probably the kernel too. That link was correct until recently but I guess it has been removed now. Should be able to do it manually though.

As root

Code:

cd /etc/multiboot.d/examples
ls

You are looking for something similar to Maemo-2.6.28.10-power37.item If its there, great. We can just copy this to multiboot.d

Code:

cp Maemo-2.6.28.10-power37.item /etc/multiboot.d

If not, let me know and I will talk you through creating the file manually.

Once we have the item file in place, we need to find out if the kernel is in the correct place

Code:

cd /boot/multiboot
ls

You are looking for vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37.
If this is there, you are sorted, reboot and you will have the power option in multiboot. If not, see if it is in /boot

Code:

cd /boot
ls

See if you have vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37 or zImage-2.6.28.10power37.

If you have vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37

Code:

mv vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37 /boot/multiboot

if you have zImage-2.6.28.10power37

Code:

mv zImage-2.6.28.10power37 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37

You should now be able to boot the power kernel.
