Don't rename zImage to uImage. You need to convert it with u-boot's mkimage tool. It is explained where the files are downloadable from:

The problem with u-boot (beyond the forcing-it-on-us debacle that happened in titan's 44 kernel which was rather unfortunate) is that it breaks together with multiboot.
And I really don't fancy having to have one OS per SD card and having to put SD cards in and out. To me, multiboot was way more versatile; it gave me a boot menu with OS options, I could even have maemo-vanilla, maemo-power, meego and nitdroid on the same machine with no tedios SD card swapping.
What are the actual benefits of u-boot? I don't accept the wear-on-flash-memory argument at all (are you gonna boot and switch OS's thousands of times? really?)

Simple: multiboot depends on maemo, so it does not support any kernel/any OS and if you brick the maemo mtd partition (or multiboot-flash a kernel that is not able to mount maemo and/or execute it's userspace) you are not able to boot any other OS.

I've just uploaded a new uboot-pr13 that explictly conflicts with kernel-power and kernel-maemo and kernel-hostmode.

I'm not sure where to put this information since it involves several programs, but uboot saved me from an inconvenient incident just now.
I received authorization requests from someone identified as Marcy Raptor. At first I didn't know where they were coming from. Eventually I discovered they were from Skype and I picked a menu item that blocked them.
But before that I noticed that my calendar program listed the birthday of someone called -- Marcy Raptor. I spent a few minutes getting rid of it.
Then I noticed that some parts of my Desktop-Switcher icons were missing, icons that would be a hassle to recreate.
Just recently I had backed up everything with uboot. I restored and everything seems fine now.
I am using the latest of Titan's kernels, Matan's modified desktop.

I grabbed kernel-power40's deb
extracted the fiasco from it
unpacked fiasco via flasher
renamed zImage to uImage
ran pybuilder.py using the provided u-boot.bin
FROM PC: flasher -k combined.bin -l -b
Result: Error: can't find kernel image
What have I missed, overlooked, or botched?
Thanks
