Last question here... Is there anyway I could modify uboot to boot maemo by default instead of meego? Want to use meego but for development purposes only. Would still use maemo for my everyday living with my n900.

The uboot + power kernel + PR1.3 patches in page 2 of this thread can be configured to load Maemo by default. You just have to change the file. The instructions (in general terms) are on the same page as where you get the files to install that UBoot + Power kernel + PR1.3 patches kernel.

I do not think that the uboot in extras devel currently does this though...

Ok sorry but this is truely the last one...
Since it includes kernel power does that mean it includes also these?
The custom kernel contains additional modules for IPv6, packet filtering, QoS, NAT, tunneling, kernel configuration, Wifi mesh networking, builtin ext3 for booting from other media, ext4, XFS, reiserfs, NTFS read support, ISO9660, UDF, CIFS, automounter, squashfs, unionfs, device mapper and dm-loop, cryptography, cryptoloop, EFI partitions, UTF8 codepages, mouse+joystick input, PPP, PPTP, serial support, USB/IP and generic USB device drivers, battery info, overclocking and kexec support.

It's probably best to ask Matan, but based on what I can tell, yes. My network (I'm at a university right now) doesn't do IPv6 yet, so I can't confirm from here. And I don't use most of those. But near as I can tell, that's basically it. It seems like Matan just took Power Kernel (the one that is currently in extras devel - power40) and applied the PR1.3 patches to it.

Oh, the battery monitor module works, that's for sure. (I use it for Conky, to get battery temperature and such.) If that's the only one you're worried about being in there, I can confirm first-hand it's in there.

hello... Hmmm seems like i can't get it to work on the flasher part...
Whenever i softupd -s --local i get a prompt saying version 0.4.4 started.
Then i type flasher --local -k my.u-boot.power41a -f nothing happens. I tried rebooting after but nothing changed.

ok managed to get it working now. Matan's instruction didn't said i should open new xterm. But problem now is im stuck at uboot. I get to the part where it says kernel OK.. Then just wait for a few seconds and the device shuts down completely. Any ideas why?
