The real problem is that multiboot flashes the kernel partition each time you want to boot something different. This partition has no wear levelling, and that -can't- be good for it.
bootmenu-N900 just hijacks the normal Maemo boot.
uBoot requires a custom kernel, IIRC, but only needs to be flashed -once-, and not each time you want to change your booting OS.
There's little else available if one needs to boot anything else than Backup Menu.
For now, it ain't broken, so I'm not about to fix it. I wish I could keep up with updates to BM. Next time it breaks and gets flashed, I'll stick with bootmenu.

Hm... I'll have to check the code.
as far as no-menu-without-backupmenu, I was afraid of that. Stskeeps released V1.9 of bootmenu-n900, and it seems to be bugged - I don't get any menu without backupmenu installed either.
Can anyone with this problem give me a precise listing of exactly what you see onscreen?

@x-lette:
I'm not sure how that could be caused by my app - Nothing of mine runs when Maemo is running - It's -only- run when boot with the KB open.
Possibly one of your other extrtas-devel apps broke it?
Besides that Backupmenu works fine for me. After starting with kb open it shows some weird screen but then changes quickly to menu.
One question regarding charging battery: should there be some visual sign when battery gets charged (does it work yet at all)? I plugged in the wall charger after taking a backup but only thing that happend was screen getting lighter. After some time I pulled charger out and nothing happened until I pressed some key. Then screen got darker again.
... damn: after powering on device it doesn't recognize charger any more. When I pull it out again it mentions that. But it didn't charge before.

Odd screen:
Yea, that's sort of debug info as of yet; Haven't had time to improve it.
Charging:
1. I'd like to get the LED working right, but I don't know how yet.
2. Currently, how it works is that the charger gets polled every 15/30 seconds(I forget which). If certain conditions are met, it starts charging(and sets the screen brighter). If others are met, it stops(and sets the screen back dim again). Basically, if the screen is bright, it's charging... But there will be a lag between connecting/disconnecting the charger and seeing any change.
3. I didn't write the charging script, so I'm not -quite- sure how it works exactly.
4. After rebooting, you may have to unplug/plug/unplug/plug to get it charging correctly under Maemo. I'm not sure why, yet, or what I can do to fix it.

I tried plug/unplug several times but with no success. Now I powered off and plugged charger in and it's charging. But that's not satisfying at all. Is there any command (i2c-tools) I can apply when running device to get charging back?

Hello,
here is my patched version of backupmenu with (may) work with bootmenu-n900. It add entry backupmenu to bootmenu, so is possible to use other systems to boot, when backupmenu is installed.
RobbieThe1st write me that it does not work for him... I do not know why... I tested it on flashed PR1.3. Can anybody test it if this work?
Instructions: Download attached deb package and to install (as root):
