Interesting, that's exactly what happened to me when I went this route to try MeeGo.

It turned out that when I tried to flash the official pr1.3 kernel, I got this message:


flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)

Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
USB device found found at bus 002, device address 017.
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2204
NOLO version 1.4.14
Version of 'sw-release': RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_MR0
Sending kernel image (195482 kB)...

Write failed after 0 bytes
usb_bulk_write: Resource temporarily unavailable
According to this comment multiboot only works correctly if the kernel are aware of its presence (which apprently the meego doesn't)

Now that doesn't explain why i couldn't load the pr1.3 kernel using the flasher... I would really like to understand why this is happening. Maybe other parts of the boot sequence gets clobbered during meego boot/run... I can't tell really. I just notice that when I flash my phone using the PR1.3 image (that worked ok) there seems to be a lot of "things" in the image aside the rootfs and kernel...

Any clue? I sure hope we can find a answer to this before too many adventurous users gets into trouble trying the multiboot approach...
