so I thought the procedure is to extract the files from the new deb file and paste it in the older deb file.
I decompressed the new 1.2 deb file, found /usr/share/backupmenu folder, took it and paste it in rootfs
the exact command I used is,
mv /usr/share/backupmenu /usr/share/backupmenu_old
mv /home/user/MyDocs/app/backupmenu_1.2.0-2_all/usr/share/backupmenu /usr/share/backupmenu
now I can't access backupmenu.
thank you, but I don't think that is related to my issue. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Can you please tell me the correct procedure?
Also, should I switch to uboot instead? What is your opinion? I'm new to maemo, I'm learning things.
I need a shell access incase it doesn't boot. (And that happens a lot for me)
rescueOS is good but that needs a pc around. That's the problem.

backupmenu-multiboot and backupmenu are two different pair of shoes.
So this will not work. But midofayad (or some other kind soul) prepared an update. Google or power search will help: backupmenu-multiboot-1.2_0.65-1.deb
BUT you should switch to kp52, u-boot and bootmenu/backupmenu from repo (devel). Cleanest will be refresh, especially considering newbie.

Thinking of installing this
but then I don't have cssu-testing.
How do I upgrade frome stable to testing? Will installing the testing over stable work?

Yep, you should try that.
Sorry I thought backupmenu had a shell on its own (likebackupmenu-multiboot has when pressing 's').. For sure kernel with frame buffer support is needed and a little hack in /sbin/preinit to enable fbcon.
About cssu: please have a look in the appropriate threads. But afaik going from stable to testing is no problem, just change the repositories (install cssu-testing). Going back is not possible.
I propose you directly go to cssu-thumb

I've kp52 installed with u-boot. I think kp52 already has kernel-feature-framebuffer support. Still it doesn't work. Is there anything else I need to do?

I'll read more about cssu-thumb and will try ro jump to thumb instead of testing.
Thank you for your help.

To do that, edit /sbin/preinit
add "modprob fbcon" (without qoute) at the end of the function init_system() (i.e. In a new line just before the closing } at around line no 42 in my case)
so it'll look like
Code:
if [ -n $madc_minor ] ; then mknod /tmp/dev/twl4030-adc c 10 $madc_minor fi modprobe fbcon }
