Another question about the installation process of NITDroid. What is to do if running with titans powerkernel, because there are so many different instructions out there

? Uninstall titans and later reinstall? Downloading multiboot-power37.tar.gz? Or should I simply wait for Jay-c's new multiboot? I'm a little bit confused because of these different instructions

Is there any reason why we have to use the new Multiboot with the new power kernel? Why can't we just use the old version, 0.2.5?

There are big issues with the new multiboot and powerkernel. If you stay with 0.2.5 multiboot and power 37, you should have no problems. There is a hack to make it work with the new version but it aint pretty!

Stick with old version for now. new multiboot wont work with power kernel correctly. If you want to use new power kernel, you will have to extract the kernel and create and item file for it.

That's basically what I'm asking., Is there any real necessity to use the new Multiboot? I'll just create my own .item file and install the kernel and modules manually. I don't want to mess up my quad boot at the moment

Is there a link to the kernel-image and modules, or do I need to extract it from a deb file?

It has been removed from the server. However, I just so happen to have a copy.

Edit: URL has changed due to me messing around and deleting the original upload.

No reason to use the new version, in fact it has been recalled due to the power-kernel issues.

you will need to extract the modules manually from the bed though.

Ok so

... the only kernel that boot is the default kernel. powerkernel makes a reboot and nitdroid starts also to boot and crashes... need a little help

I followed the instructions on http://forum.nitdroid.com

with following packages:
multiboot-extras_0.1_armel.deb
multiboot_0.2.5_armel.deb
nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-05_final1_armel.deb
NITDroid-N900-the-flying-world.tbz2

and
the powerkernel
