Yeah, I did find that bit after going through the announcement again. I think I had used thread search with "bluetooth", or maybe I just overread it, sorry... I gotta admit I had given up for this to get fixed!
The reason I want U-boot is for being able to test Nemo from SDcard.

I have managed to get U-Boot together with kp50 installed now, which is actually not a big hassle, but needs to be done right. Instructions can be also found in UBoot thread, in the announcement post for the latest version. If you want to try it, use steps described below at your own risk (or check Pali's thread)! I do not take responsibility for any errors!

First install latest U-Boot.
This latest version of U-Boot is the only one that allows for kp to get along with UBoot (one problem is, simple installation of one will remove/disable the other).
That means if you already have an older version of Uboot, it needs to be replaced by the current one (at time of writing this) first.
To do so, you can't just overwrite the old version, you have to remove it completely. One way of doing that is to reinstall Nokia kernel.
To install U-Boot, download 2 packages from U-Boot announcement thread and dpkg -i.
1st "u-boot-tools",
2nd "u-boot-flasher".
After that, it's as simple as
Code:
sudo apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg
this is not to be confused with the regular power kernel package!
and then
Code:
u-boot-update-bootmenu
Reboot with the keyboard open.
You can now choose which kernel to boot.
There isn't currently an option to make the power kernel boot by default. If you don't do anyhting during boot or boot with keyboard closed, Nokia kernel will be booted.
I hope I got everything right, this is the first time I'm writing a rather detailed how-to.
Enjoy,
Ben

..btw now I get the same kinda acceptable bt headset expierence (Nokia BT-505) as with stock kernel! Yay!
