When selecting option to power kernel, the N900 does not seems to flash the kernel area with the power kernel and it just gets stuck in a black blank screen..
I really needs power kernel for hostmode and many other features..
The /lib/modules, /boot/multiboot and /etc/multiboot.d seems fine with same reference to kernel.

I do not know where i am doing wrong :-(
I made a horrible mistake there, sorry. I haven't copied full contents of file /etc/multiboot.d/01-Maemo-kernel-power46.item - the line
ITEM_MODULES=ext
should be:
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
Other instructions without changes.

Thanks for help Change contents of this file:
Code:
sudo gainroot
leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/01-Maemo-kernel-power46.item
Edit, save file, exit terminal, reboot and tell me if it works, please. Also, was your charger plugged in? I noticed I have sometimes problem with booting with multiboot while charging battery...


EDIT: pali!, maybe you could (in your packages) rename kernel zImage file name from /boot/zImage-2.6.28-pali1 to /boot/zImage-2.6.28.10pali1 ? If so, the package "multiboot-kernel-power" shall only containt /etc/multiboot.d/01-Maemo-kernel-power46.item file and depend on kernel-power? Because if you keep your current naming convention, after install of kernel-power and kernel-power-modules etc. we have kernel "zImage-2.6.28-pali1" and modules in /lib/modules in subdir "2.6.28.10pali1". And for multiboot it does not work Don't want to be rude here or anything negative, just asking for a consistent naming convention, because it would simplify lots of work

Also, instructions in post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=75 updated again. I hope I won't need to change them anymore.
