thanks for the great work
I haven't gotten Natty to work yet, but I will work on that. I actually have never used Backupmenu yet, but I will look into that. I also will try and get SHR working.

No, it will not. I have power kernel installed and run it at 850 MHz most of the time. Just install kernel-power-bootimg as well so it shows up in the multiboot menu.

Follow the instructions on the wiki for installing to the MicroSD card, using your 4GB card. For me the procedure was (under Linux):
Code:
sudo apt-get install pv
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
cd Downloads
bzcat meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1-mmcblk0p.raw.bz2 | pv | sudo dd bs=4096 of=/dev/sdb
mkdir meego-modules
sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
cp -r /mnt meego-modules    #these modules are used later for Kubuntu
sudo umount /mnt
Hey man, I'm just struggling slightly on the first step (way to go me!). My sdcard only has 1 partition, is that meant to be /dev/sdb1 (not /dev/sdb2)? Cos I keep getting "does not exist" error....

After using the dd command, there should be two partitions on the microsd card, because there are two in the meego image. Make sure your card is /dev/sdb, and then try running dd again.

That should work. The only potential problem I can see is that installing uboot might mess up your pre-existing multiboot, but I doubt it.

I'm having some trouble with this tutorial.

After running through it, when I boot my N900, I get the Multiboot screen. If I choose either the kernel-power or the omap1, it runs as it is supposed to. But if I choose the uboot, it goes to the uboot screen, then I let it time out, and then it goes back to the multiboot. On that moment, if I choose either uboot again or power-kernel, it goes back to multiboot's main menu. It only goes out if I omap1.

But then, when I reboot after choosing uboot and then omap1, instead of going to multiboot, it goes straight to uboot, and when it times out, it boots from the mmc, and meego works fine.

Do you have any idea of what's going on?

I'm not sure; I haven't had that problem before. What happens when you boot without the SD card in?

Exactly same situation here, and it's very hard to get back in multiboot menu. I usually leave phone without battery for several minutes, and sometimes get multiboot back, choosing omap1 helps in getting back to normal condition.
