Guys,
I have Multiboot installed with Maemo, Power Kernel & NITDroid. Is it possible to load Easy Debian this way, would be so much tidier.
If possible, could someone advise a simpleton.
Much appreciated

Stephen

Sorry, another question.
In reference to the Maemo 5 and Power Kernel options. If I have the Power Kernel in xterm set to be overclocked ie:
kernel-config load ideal
kernel-config limits 250 900
kernel-config save myconfig1
kernel-config default myconfig1

I assume when loaded as Maemo 5 Kernel this won't load. When booting Power Kernel the default config (as above) should be loaded?

Thanks for this very useful piece of software. It was intended for use with the excellent NITdroid (now with 3d acell ) but I'm sure it will also be used for other things as BackupMenu.
I know dj_steve is aware of it so we will have to wait.

Looking into the readme there are several options:

1..9 Boot the numbered item, as defined in /etc/multiboot.d/*.item's

0 Boot default (Maemo)
NOTE! this option just boots Maemo with the default kernel,
_without_ any options or extras. It's intented to be a fallback.
Also, this item can not be disabled or configured.

BS Reboot

X Poweroff

B Fallback to use the original Maemo script to boot maemo

S Starts a shell

I think all of the options are obvious but i see no difference using option B or 0. Can anyone be a little more explicit about what this option B is supposed to do ?

I know there are some minor bugs in this release of multiboot like the charging reboot loop behaviour and the double boot.
However i also can't start a shell. When i press S the screen goes black and after 15s powers off.
Is this also a known bug ?

Also when running Maemo with the 2.6.28 OMAP1 kernel if i choose reboot the system powers off instead of rebooting.

Thanks.

How do you uninstall Maemo 5 PR1.2 kernel for multiboot?
I thought I had uninstalled the multiboot but noticed this in app manager. Any idas?

@Jay-C:
As the creater of BackupMenu, which several people are asking about, it looks to me like it can't be run with the current version of your software.
My BackupMenu app/script is just a BusyBox/ASH script running on the Maemo OS - It should run if you go into console mode in MultiBoot and launch it from there, but I'm not sure.
Seeing as there is a lot of people asking for MultiBoot/BackupMenu support, let me know if there's anything I can do to make it work - Feel free to PM me.

Guys,
I am guessing we can't load different overclocking kernels with Multiboot?

Hello All

I am trying to set up a triple boot with Fedora, NIT and Maemo.
I have setup multiboot to boot the power kernel with no issues, but it will not boot my Fedora install.

I have copied my fedora kernel fiasco image to /boot/multiboot and my Fedora.item looks like this

Code:
ITEM_ID="fedora" 
ITEM_NAME="Fedora 12 on SD p4" 
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28-framebuffer1 
ITEM_MODULES=ext3 mbcache jbd 
ITEM_DEVICE=${EXT_CARD}p4 
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3 
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=noatime,rw

But when I select to boot Fedora, it just goes back to the main menu.

My Fedora install is on p4 of my SD card and does work perfectly. i sued bootmenu before.
Any ideas?

Cheers!
