WARNING: DO NOT RELY ON WALL CHARGER, ONLY USB CHARGING FOR 1.1 IMAGES, see meego bug #2260

This is a simplified guide for dual-booting with u-boot on Nokia N900.

You must be using the PR1.3 kernel and nothing else. You will likely end up in a reboot loop if you don't have this otherwise. To check this, in Maemo X-Terminal, type "uname -a" and make sure you see:

Linux Nokia-N900 2.6.28-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Fri Aug 6 11:50:00 EEST 2010 armv7l unknown

and "dpkg -l | grep kernel-modules" should show 2.6.28-20103103+0m5.

If there's guides that doesn't have this warning, blame those people.
So to avoid problems with u-boot on the upgrade of kernel-power we have to be on stock kernel??

Did I have well understood??

Thanks in advance.
