Mate,
Having your head around the understanding of Multiboot. Are you able to advise how to use it to load Easy Debian if loaded on my MicoSD card partition 4 (mmcblk1p4)?

No problem, I just like to see my thanks count go up . I get thank and edit when on the N900 (its my main source of internet at the moment).

Not sure about easy debian, I was under the impression it's chroot and is not bootable, I could be wrong though as I aint really looked at it since I first got my phone. If there is a kernel for it though, you should just be able to put it in /boot/multiboot and create an item file for that kernel, pointing it to {EXT-CARD}p4.

don't know mate. I just tried the post above and won't boot it at all, just loops back. I can't recall what I did lastnight though did get it to boot twice, that said, was rough. Would loop back twice and then reboot and start but did boot, now I am lost.

Easy Debian is a compressed chroot. You can't boot it via multi-boot without completely extracting the system. You're best to simply keep your Fedora boot.

press B or 0 and you will boot into maemo. I do not know where the kernel for v38 goes so can't advise how to get it to boot. As it doesn't offer any advantage, I recommend removing V38 and going back to the old one.

thanks alot i got it boot into maemo by pressing 0, so should i just leave at the way it is and just keep pressing 0 or remove the kernel, because oncei remove the kernel then probably it will mess it up more...with multiboot and NITDROID...

i fix the problem after update to v38. if you cant boot..then pressing 0 after that..u can follow the tutorial by dj_steve:
Download this file into /home/user:

Code:

cd /home/user
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...t-0.1.x.tar.gz

Then run this as root On the device:
Code:

cd /home/user
tar xzvf remove-multiboot-0.1.x.tar.gz
chmod +x multiboot-remove
./multiboot-remove
rm multiboot-remove
rm remove-multiboot-0.1.x.tar.gz

Also, if you don't use Titans power37 kernel, you can manually delete the files:
Code:

rm /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37
rm -r /lib/modules/2.6.28.10power37

3. Now lets get down to actually installing things starting with Multiboot:
Code:

dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/multiboot-extras_0.1_armel.deb
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/multiboot_0.2.5_armel.deb


then if you have NITDROID:
Now you should have most of nitdroid setup but you cant boot anythign as multiboot doesnt have an item file yet , lets go create that now
Code:

cd /etc/multiboot.d
cat > NITdroid-2.6.28.NIT.05.item << EOF
ITEM_NAME="NITdroid on MMCp2 - 2.6.28.NIT.05"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.05
ITEM_MODULES=ext3 fat vfat
ITEM_DEVICE=\${EXT_CARD}p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=3
EOF

then:

IF YOU USE Titans excellent power kernel then you need to do the following also :
Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...power37.tar.gz
cd /
tar xzvf /home/user/MyDocs/multiboot-power37.tar.gz
