The additional part to be checked is as follows:
1. After installing pali kernel, make sure the owner of the /lib/modules/2.6.28.10pali1 is root. This can be done using chown root:root command
2. Make sure the zImage file is in the /boot folder as well and it is owned by root

Now, I am satisfied with the first step.. cannot wait for more enhancement such as moving to kernel 2.6.37 with libraries
You had permissions and file ownership problem? Strange, really strange...

Someone (maybe even pali, but I'm not sure and don't want to put words into his mouth) wrote that moving to kernel 2.6.37 will not be possible in Maemo 5, as some closed-source binaries rely on kernel interfaces present in 2.6.28 and deprecated or not available in 2.6.37

Also, pali! I want to try few things by myself, so: how to compile your kernel please step-by-step instruction (can be not noob-friendly, just steps)? ^ ^ Would it work when I: 1. download kernel-power 46 sources, 2. go to http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pali/ , get kernel-power_2.6.28-pali1_source.diff.tar.gz, 3. apply diff, 4. compile kernel 5. compile modules? :P
