This is why I want to hurt people on here when they don't read all the available threads on a subject.

Did you guys try reading the already existing other UBoot thread. Did it occur to all of you to read those threads before f'ing around with extras devel software? See, I can understand if you can't read a hundred page thread, and/or have tried but can't understand it. Or if you're only running Extras software - then you can expect **** to just work. But there's almost no threads on UBoot - which means that the two that are available - you can read. It's even more annoying when some of this stuff is answered in this very thread. When a question is answered on page 11 and you're asking on page 24, that's one thing. When it's answered on page 2 and you ask on page 3....

1: You CAN have UBoot with power kernel. You can even have it with PR1.3 patches. Matan already made a kernel like that, and it can easily be downloaded onto the device and flashed with the on-board "flasher" command with almost no effort.

2: You need to do the same thing to get rid of uboot. You download the fiasco image, and run the flasher (as per existing instruction in the other uboot thread and the wiki) - you don't even have to use a computer based one. You can flash kernels from on-device.

3: Multiboot vs. proper bootloader has been discussed. Multiboot rapes your flash chip, because it flashes the kernel every OS switch. Uboot doesn't.

4. You don't need to swap SD cards or take them out to boot maemo. Yeah, booting with keyboard out is easier than taking out SD card. But loading with keyboard out, then selecting OS, vs loading with keyboard out and pressing any key, then typing the command to select OS, is almost the same. And you can do that easily.
