which I dont like

anyone know a fix to this?
You can downgrade kernel-power47 to v46. Its still in the repos as far as I know. Then you can install uboot for kernel-power to boot MeeGo.

To downgrade, the command should be something along the lines of:

Code:
apt-get install kernel-power=2.6.28-maemo46*

OK, I'll kill myself if you learn to Google.

Oh god. Are you serious? I mean... It's a ten minute fix. You just flash it again D: This advice is repeated over and over on the forums. Please don't tell people to die when you're unable to fix the simplest of issues for yourself.

does the community work on optimising meego for the N900?
Great news!!!!
how can i install meego on the internal memory?
and do i need to remove nitdroid.
is the nitdroid project dead?
meego for the n900 needs more languages and writing languages.
the apps will come after the n9 release.
keep up the work.
i will help and test.
i cant do anything else

I followed Fabry's guide here to get kernel-power47 patched with uboot.
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=876169&postcount=1

I've written a script to add uboot to power47 automatically and a guide to flash the kernel. If using multiboot this will replace and backup the original.

You should be able to copy/paste the relevant steps into xterm.


After reboot, leave keyboard open to boot from MMC card
Close keyboard on reboot to start power47 kernel.

[EDIT] Updated steps 7-8 to flash kernel ready for reboot.
[EDIT2] corrected flasher command in step 7

Code:
sudo gainroot
cd /home/user

# Prerequisites
apt-get install -y wget flasher mkimage

#1. Download power kernel deb file from repository and extract fiasco image from it
wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/k/kernel-power/kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb -O kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb
dpkg --fsys-tarfile kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb | tar -xf - ./boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco
mv ./boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco /home/user/
rm -r boot
rm kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb

#2. Download Matan's u-boot from repository (it is named u-boot-for-power-kernel) and extract file image from it
wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/u/u-boot-for-power-kernel/u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb -O u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb
dpkg --fsys-tarfile u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb | tar -xf - ./usr/lib/u-boot/u-boot.bin.0x38000/u-boot.bin.0x38000
mv ./usr/lib/u-boot/u-boot.bin.0x38000/u-boot.bin.0x38000 /home/user/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47
rm -r usr
rm u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb

#3. Unpack Fiasco image
flasher -u -F zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco
rm zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco

#4. Transform zImage in uImage (necessary because u-boot boots Kernel only in uImage file format)
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 80008000 -e 80008000 -n "Power Kernel v47" -d zImage uImage 

#5. Add power kernel uImage at end of previous file (starting write at offset 0x38000 aka 448 blocks)
dd if=uImage of=vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 seek=448

#6. Remove zImage & uImage
rm zImage
rm uImage
The next part is taken from the maemo overclock wiki:

Code:
#7. Flash the kernel
softupd -vv -s --local(that is a double v)
Open new terminal
Code:
sudo gainroot
flasher --local -f -k /home/user/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47
You'll see the flashing (takes some time)
# Type "sync" to save changes

Code:
#8. Optional - Multiboot - backup and replace Power47
mv /boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak
mv /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak
mv /home/user/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47
