Guys I need some info. If I understand right, multiboot reflashes kernel each time we switch the OS (Maemo <--> NITdroid)? With u-boot we avoid this?

I also did install multiboot / Nitdroid when i had the stock PR1.2 installed.
The magic of multiboot is that i can return to the stock kernel by just rebooting with the keybord open and pressing B key.
Some days ago i had PR1.2 / Nitroid 0.0.8 and power 40 installed.
As i wanted to upgrade to PR1.3 and just to be on the safe side i installed backupmenu as a multiboot item and made a complete system backup.
After, to upgrade to PR1.3, i just booted to PR1.2 and made an OTA upgrade with no problems. Multiboot nitroid backupmenu and all my other apps were still there and working. At last i replaced the old power40 boot image and modules with version 45.
I think you can install multiboot / nitdroid with power45 installed but then if you reboot with B key you will not return to stock kernel but to power45.
Take a look at the following links that have all the info you may need:
Multiboot/Nitdroid-Autoinstaller
nitdroid forum
Install backupmenu as a multiboot item
My gratitude and credits to multiboot / nitroid developer team, Titan, RobbieThe1st, Rob1n and maemo community.

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d....3-1_armel.deb
It will create the maemo kernel - missing vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1 file.
That was made for PR1.2.
It seams it still works with PR1.3 but it is not the PR1.3 kernel.
If you have PR1.3 installed you may extract the PR1.3 kernel from the bin file (credits to OptX).
Download RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
from
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php
Download and install the latest version of the Flasher for your PC
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d...-downloads.php
Execute in your PC:
Code:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -u
Good luck
