Y'know, I'm not sure what some people are complaining about. I just installed v45, rebooted.
I get the little tux icon, the various bits of boot-text, it tells me I can interrupt the boot process, then it boots(waits at "loading kernel..." for like 5-10 seconds). I -have- an SD card, but no OS or special partitions on it. On top of that, bootmenu-n900 works too!

i said it previously: why flash anyways? flashomanie?(just joking) uboot don't need the piggypacking. put the kernel instead somwhere on the filesystem. just tell uboot where it is(thats all that is missing!). put two,three, many kernels there ... and boot whatever you want.

The only discussion i want, how many people are really using this uboot option, and how many don't???
If there are not so many people are using it, than better remove it, and provide it as a separate installer. So people have a choice what they want to use or not.
and maybe there are some "power users" wich are not so "powered" to know anything from Maemo/linux. There this forum is for to learn from eachother???
So if youre so a geek, who knows it all, explain to me how i do have to use this uboot option, or how i remove te boot option from my sd card, without loosing my dat on it.
as well the answer was not that unpolite, you can't expect anything else with this title. when u say what n900 has to be and u call one of the options to have second os(isn't it cool) a crap. i woud might write it different if the post was more of asking for help and not as u wrote it.

I have formatted my sd card now, and upgraded to titans v45.
Everything seem s to work now. I don't even to enter run noloboot wich was quite enoying. I put my data back on the SD card, still works. Yes it is a bit geeky to have a sort of boot/post screen like a pc on a handheld, but hey it is a n900...
So far i'am again happy with a release of titans kernel (v45), but i still find it a bit overdone to include uboot in de kernel package.
But everything is working now, including camera and gps,mediaplayer. So i let uboot staying there,maybe in the future i will try another OS, in the mainwhile i stick to maemo, works great so far, so i don't need another one.

Before v44 - v45, there where just a litte complains about titans kernels, with the introduction of uboot, there are a lot. Showing the many post about it on this forum.That why i called "crap".... I don't know another word for it.....
A lot of people are "just upgrading/updating" their decive, unknowing what they are actually doiing. Espacially with the customs kernels from titan they didn't expect the uboot program.
In the stock PR1.3 was said there is a option for multiboot, i can't find it., but it was said in different post here.

Perhaps a discussion on issues with uboot could be restarted/continued on a less inflamatory thread? It is my opinion this one is shot.

@lunat:
Bootmenu-n900 is more of just a loader, It doesn't mess with the kernel.
As it is, I think my app is just about the only thing that uses it really - Perhaps one ubuntu-on-n900 setup, but that's about it.

If you're messing with somthing as essential as the kernel and you're getting your stuff from the -dev repo, you should be way more tolerant of glitches and near-bricks etc. If you wanna stay on the safe side stay the hell away from the -testing and -devel repos.
