How to do ' Expand attached archived on SD (must be on third Fat partition)' ? Do you mean copy the zip file on the memory card? On my N900 PR1.2 after upgrade the Kernel only keeps Starting Kernel and nothing happens, please help me. Thank you.

1 - Expand attached archived on SD (must be on third Fat partition)
2 - Start N900 and enter on u-boot interactive console (by booting with open keyboard and pressing any key).
3 - Type mmc init and press enter
4 - Type run loadbootscript and press enter
5 - Type run bootscript and press enter

This should run maemo with stock PR1.3 kernel (included in the zip file).

After booting I suggest downgrading to power43 kernel with the command (as root):

apt-get install kernel-power=2.6.28-maemo43 kernel-power-modules=2.6.28-maemo43 kernel-power-flasher=2.6.28-maemo43

And I request that people will tell me about having this problem, including the HW revision of their device.
