You mean the kexec part of titan's kernels? is that all bootmenu uses? I tried to test a while back (with a VERY early image), but couldn't get bootmenu to work. I am hoping that we can leverage titan's kernels to get a clean multi-boot system.

I want to learn how to do all this stuff but I'm not an experienced linux user and I don't want to cause any serious problems on my N900 (brick it or something!)
I read through the instructions on the previous link that I posted and it all sounds a little complicated at the moment.
I have an Ubuntu 9.10 live CD available that I could use to partition my SD card but after that I need more clearly defined step-by-step instructions of what to do to patch and compile the kernel. (can I do everything from live-CD?

Is there really no other way to just prepare all the files, put them onto the memory card and launch it from within maemo so that it terminates maemo and loads from the memory card? (not affecting the maemo installation at all) (Then after pulling the battery it should just boot normally back into maemo)

Spent a while in chat with steve, and could not pin it down to anything. The working theory ended up being that NitDroid did not like 16GB cards for some reason.

Try a different card. It may be a duff card, and y 16GB cards may also be a bit iffy in that case.

Thanks, I was following the original guide which created 3 partitions and it didn't work. As soon as I did the 4 partitions (1 vfat boot, 1 swap, 2 ext3 for everything else) the no-google bundle worked for me.
Not too shabby. About as usable as Maemo was, maybe more so.
Now to just get the one with the marketplace app working...so I don't have to install APKs from the web. And it reboots when plugged into power and it decides to "sleep". Don't know what's going on there.

the reboot is down to power management issues that ive yet to fully nail down the reason for. currently im moving from getting sound running because i need to rethink how im going to. camera i need to work out as its all green at min,
