Let me start off by saying I just got a Nokia N900 so I am a complete beginner.

Sorry if I am missing something but I attempted to try and get the u-boot-flasher and everything installed via apt-get install and Hildon Application Manager

Via Hildon Application Manager I receive "!!!U-Boot with Kernel 2.6.28-omap1 breaks the 3rd party package policy" and check the details and its complaining about my kernel-modules

via apt-get install u-boot-flasher I get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
u-boot-flasher: Depends: kernel-modules (= 2.6.28-20103103+0m5) but 2.6.28-20101501+0m5 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

According to dpkg my kernel-modules version is 2.6.28-20101501+0m5

So how do I get my kernel-modules updated to 2.6.28-20103103+0m5?

the package: sdk-fiasco-gen
As soon as i had this package installed - it was not so complicated.
I noticed your advice and disabled cssu-devel in my Repos.

Now i have this items in U-Boot-Menu:

Kernel-2.6.28.10-power53 (default boot entry)
U-Boot with attached Kernel-2.6.28.10-cssu3 (Internal NAND)
Kernel-2.6.28.10-cssu3
U-Boot 2013.04-2

Ok i can't go back to the stock PR1.3 kernel-2.6.28-omap1 but i think, i can leave without it.

Thank you for your help !
Hi @explit,

Will it be possible to share the uboot binary you had compiled with attached cssu kernel. I am facing the same issue as posted by you.

Hi,
my N900 broke (GSM modem) and so I got a new one. I say new because its seems to be not used. But the former owner installed U Boot and some other random stuff.
He is not sure what he has done because it was three years ago.
So I want to revert to the stock kernel and then intall kernel power like before on my broken phone.
Now when I try to do the "open keyboard press u start the phone" thing I get the U Boot menu.
How do I proceed? Tried to find the info in this thread but with 80 pages I might have missed it.

EDIT: I am stupid. I should not press the power button while pressing U. I thought I had to. Just pressing U and connecting the USB works...

I am having the exact same issue, I have not been able to find a solution would anyone be able to guide us in the right direction?

2.6.28-20103103+0m5 is a version in the last firmware version PR 1.3 and PR1.3.1. So you first should update to last Maemo version and then install U-Boot.

Search for firmware files:
PR1.3.1 - RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
PR1.3 - RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin

If you are hard hacker, you can find DEB packages in repository:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...free/k/kernel/

I have a N900 with dead EMMC (card did not respond to voltage select)
and a partially corrupt NAND.
Only later regions are affected and before it became unusable I managed to install U-Boot.

Now that we have Maemo Leste I can actually use the phone again!
I just have to select "External SD card"

Now my question: Is there any way I can change the boot order without EMMC?

It faults at
Code:
Booting attached kernel image ...
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image
and drops me to the shell if I don't make a selection.

Maybe I have to remove something from the internal NAND ubifs so it automatically tries the next entry? According to this it should try entries in this order by default: 1. Attached Kernel Image 2. External SD

So, you don't have access to Maemo 5, right? Maybe try to mount rootfs via Leste, or even chroot to it.
You should just run command like that:
Code:
ln -s /etc/bootmenu.d/40-maemo-leste.item /etc/default/bootmenu.item
So, if you have mounted rootfs (I'm not sure it's possible) on e.g. /mnt, let's type:
Code:
ln -s /mnt/etc/bootmenu.d/40-maemo-leste.item /mnt/etc/default/bootmenu.item
It's only idea, I'm not sure it will work
