I just found your old topic at http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=754837&postcount=1 and found this:

As it is a shell script, it should be fairly immune to custom kernels and setups; so long as BusyBox and the various executables are still accessible, it ought to still work.
...
As i had no idea in the past how this app work, i couldn't imagine any conflicting application, but now i have:
busybox-advanced 1.15.3 This package adds more than 170 commands to the default N900's BusyBox ash sh
from: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4469013/temp/applist.txt

When i can get some free time, i'll try again.

Edit:
And found it!
Busybox-advanced package causes conflict with backupmenu!
This package is the part of this repository.

Extracted the above tarball, confirmed files are being place properly and rebooted.

bootmenu STILL shows the stock/default boot menu options for internal partition or power off.

This is really baffling me.

@Necc:
I really should start on some proper documentation one of these days.

I'm betting that busybox addon ends up adding a few extra required libraries, which it can't find inside the chroot and crashes, dropping back to the old bootloader.

To add to the confusion, I do not have busybox addons installed.

busybox-advanced uses extra libs, which is why it won't work. I'm going to add it as a conflict in the next version - It doesn't look good enough to develop a workaround for(I just installed it, and couldn't install power-kernel with it installed). Plus, the gnu-tools are better anyway.

Hawaii, can I have a list of your installed packages?
Perhaps also give me the output of "cd /bin & ldd busybox" also?

Thanks.

Hm... try removing "rescue-boot"? I'm not sure why it'd conflict, but it's all I can think of.

I've had it co-existing with every previous BackupMenu installation :\

Well, erm, I'm not sure. I can't think of anything.
