Yes you screwed your multiboot kernels!
Why the h..l did you overwrote your Nitdroid kernel?
Doing such mv (or cp) actions always very carefully, especially using autocompletion.
You may boot with keyboard out and press 0 for stock kernel.
Then rename again that
vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power46-XXX.NTD.XX
to
vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power46-wl1
This way you should get at least the power kernel up again.
For the nitdroid kernel you should check content of file
/etc/multiboot.d/xx-NIT........
You will find something like
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.06
Go to ammyts NIT thread and download the kernel from e-yes or nitdroid website and put it under /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-ZZZ, where ZZZ is what you have as ITEM_KERNEL.
BTW: There are already newer versions of power kernel and also bleeding edge drivers (only necessary for PK>=50) out.

i have installed kernel v50.
and i plan to keep my current version of wifi driver.
i wonder the kernel file which i need to download for file replacement later, which version should i use, either v46 or v50 or any version will work?

Is there any chance BM would backup also kernel? This seems like the only point of failure (restoring backup from different KP version was totally messy, also killed BM and reflash was required)

I asked the same question zillion of pages ago, and it was explained, that there are no chances for that - at least, without someone incorporating flasher inside BM. Kernel part can't be simply untar'ed/dd'ed.

This is why I rename my backups to include the kernel version expected now. Handy to know if I need to revert. 
Another simple solution would be to tar and temporarily hold the modules folder when doing a restore. Then if the folder doesn't exist for the current kernel, you could restore that after the image restore. (Yes, that opens the chance of a bad restore from a good image, but it does fix the kernel dependency issue...)

Well, during installation of kernel-power (without multiboot etc) You're actually flashing it with bundled flasher, so I wonder how hard it would be to include similar flasher in backupmenu + all required reboot routines?

I just updated to BackupMenu version 1.1 -from 1.0, but now backupmenu doesnt boot anymore... It gives an error about not beeing able to copy evkey.sh (file not found), and than says "press any key to continue".
The problem is now that if I press a key, nothing happens...
Am i doing something wrong?

Its only a workaround
do this as root: cp /usr/bin/evkey /usr/sbin/evkey
Backupmenu is then working again

All times are GMT. The time now is 08:40.
before i screwed up, i have:
Speed + Battery batch
Multiboot
Nitdroid (ICS)
CPU freq
BackupMenu
recently, i installed Cleven and i believe the cause of kernel problem happened when i tried to install the wifi driver as instructed in this page.
At Step 5:
i tried to uninstall n reinstall again the kernel v50 but it doesnt solve anything.
Anyone has any idea?
