p2= /rootfs
p4= /home
p4= Alt_OS
If you change partition layouts/assignments you need to change other things too, it is not enough just to switch labels and copy the FS content to differen partition, you need to modify inits and check that everything is mounted and brought up correctly...
Unless you have done this, I am fairly sure this is the reason you are having boot problems

Could it be a reason to boot not function? (Gparted it seems OK no red marks etc) But what re Ubiboot.conf etc? It must give problems here I think!
Have had a lot of problems with partitions also tried to run ext4 on p1 due to this http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90687
But end up total flash --no-preserve and thougt problems were solved, but....(and it seems that the 4GB limit on rootfs is broken)??
NB. @ peter leinchen The battery work around don't function at my N9 -tried nearly 10 times!

Ubiboot.config seems to have a problem due to my partition mess. What will happen if I change so:
G_EXPORTED_PARTITONS="/dev/mmcblk0" # This exports all partitons of the device
#G_EXPORTED_PARTITONS="/dev/mmcblk0p1" # this exports just the Mydocs partiton
#G_EXPORTED_PARTITONS="/dev/mmcblk0p2" # this exports just the root (nemo) partition
#G_EXPORTED_PARTITONS="/dev/mmcblk0p3" # this exports just the home (root) partiton
#G_EXPORTED_PARTITONS="/dev/mmcblk0p4" # this exports just the nemo (home) partition
#G_EXPORTED_PARTITONS="/dev/mmcblk0p5" # some people have more than 4 partitions
#G_EXPORTED_PARTITONS="/dev/mmcblk0p6" # some people have more than 5 partitions
#G_EXPORTED_PARTITONS="/dev/mmcblk0p7" # this is the last supported partition I guess
#G_EXPORTED_PARTITONS="" # this turns off partition exporting
And then change partitions number due to that in the section stating with:
# The first OS is usually Nitdroid.
# This section lists the Nitdroid specific switches and kernels
G_OS1_NUM=3
G_OS1_AUTOBOOT=0
G_OS1_PARTITION=2 (to 3 for Harmattan and Firefox too.)
And the Nemo now 4 to 2
But what about : "It's important that the versions of the kernel, config and cpio are compatible or else you will run into no end of trouble."

Or nicely stacked, as juiceme would say.

You somehow managed to shift roots and home from p2/3 to p3/4.
Your approach above editing ubiboot.conf may work (for sure this is the reason why kernels are not found), as it searches on harmattan rootfs (i.e. /dev/mmcblk0p2) boot folder. But due to your partition layout they reside on /dev/mmcblk0p4.
I suggest you do a reflash --no-preserve and start all over.
But before you should try editing ubiboot.conf as stated above.
And you will end up with a system having the home partition not mounted (would need editing at least /etc/fstab). Juiceme may tell more here.
Unless you have very valuable data with no backups of it, I suggest doing as peterleinchen says, reflash with --no-preserve option and then do everything from start.

i suggest to Garp to reflash prone with
then flash ubiboot
connect to Ubuntu
make repartition with GParted manyally by cropping first partition and creating new primary 4GB partition for Nemo
unpack nemo image by tar, dont use filemanager
copy kernels, configs, preinits edit configs, if need
boot and use Nemo
Code:
flasher -F firmware.bin -F emmc.bin --erase-user-data=secure --no-preserve -f
connect to Ubuntu
make repartition with GParted manyally by cropping first partition and creating new primary 4GB partition for Nemo
unpack nemo image by tar, dont use filemanager
copy kernels, configs, preinits edit configs, if need
boot and use Nemo

How to solve that problems with 0p2 etc?
Even as partiton table type is undefined it is correctly formatted as ext4 and mounted as your root.
If you really want to cange it, you can do so by sfdisk but it is not necessary.
Now, next thing to do is to run the MOSLO partitioner to get the Nemo partition set up again, then install ubiboot and Nemo rootFS.

I am reading the postings in order and replying to them, it takes time to catch up so many postings

@taixzo
Just looking at log file I do see you do not have latest version of ubiboot. Log says 0.3.3 but current version is 0.3.5.
So best guess is you haxe mixed setup.
Try again by getting latest ubiboot kernel and latest cpio. Put cpio to MyDocs/boot and flash the kernel.
-- oops, and ubiboot.conf of course needs to be latest version (please use newest version and adapt to your setup)
You may also wait for juiceme as he is much much better reading his log files....
Your ubiboot.conf, however is from the new version, so might it be possible that you have the nef conf, new CPIO but flashing has failed so you are still running with the old ubiboot kernel.
If that was the case, it sure would cause problems like these.
