Can you post the output of `uname -a` ? And also do an `md5sum ./bt5.img` ?

Do I have to specifically choose which kernel to load or something?

You shouldn't have had to if the power kernel was installed successfully, it should just be loaded when you reboot. And that's definitely not it.

Also, my bt5.img has an md5sum of ea9da7e254ab93986ceb9164847d8d88. I'm using the one directly downloaded from BackTrack's site though, not the one from page one of this thread. Your problem is definitely that the power kernel isn't running though. I'm not sure why.

So, apparently I didnt have extras devel so it didnt find it, just installed other kernel-power stuff.

Anyway, now it installed and everything- reboot, still the same output from uname -a

Yeah. This is weird, no matter how many times I reinstall/restart, it wont install.
Was using: apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel-power kernel-power-flasher

Saw
apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg
apt-get install --reinstall multiboot-kernel-power

As ive got maemo/nitdroid dualbooting, reinstalling multiboot removes bootimg.

Bah.

Finally got it working.
apt-get remove kernel-power*

then reinstalled it all again. qchroots fine now.

If I apt-get install xserver-xephyr, then try running it; Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 I get:

Code:

[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list!
[xkb] Can't rename /var/tmp/filekmxB8B to /var/lib/xkb/server-02D8252E59564A234380F1E5417646A9DB3B7452.xkm, error: Invalid cross-device link
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.

Fatal server error:
Failed to activate core devices.

More fun to troubleshoot. Seems theres a keyboard problem whether you go VNC or Xephyr

In new kernel power (47) the package multiboot-kernel-power is OBSOLETE and kernel-power-bootimg has all files which were needed for multiboot (so new kernel-power-bootimg package is the combination of old kernel-power-bootimg and multiboot-kernel-power packages), so It was OK that it removed multiboot-kernel-power.
