I had the same problem. I guess that one should use the shortcut in the applications menu in order to properly uninstall the custom kernel, and not the app manager. Anyway, you simply need to reflash your phone. There is no need to reflash the eMMc though, just the firmware.

I also have the same problem. Now i'm on this site: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

But how do I do so that the MyDocs data NOT is being deleted? I got some notes in there, and if they is being deleted i will cry from now and to christmas 2020!

You guys talked about a reflash on the phone. Shall I just use the Software Updater in Windows?

I normally use Linux on my computer, so I can also use the terminal.

Thank you!

You won't loose any data if you just reflash ur OS a.k.a. rootfs another a.k.a. firmware also known as FW and referred to fiasco you will need windows preferably XP:
A)
1. Go to http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900
2. There are clear instructions on how to find and enter your imei
3. Throw the EULA in a trash can and click I agree
4. Download RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM (this or the one specifying your region)
5. Download Maemo flasher 3.5
6. Install Maemo flasher
7. Copy RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM (this or the one specifying your region) to Maemo flasher's directory (e.g. C:/program files/maemo)
B)
1. Open maemo flasher from start ----> all programs ----> maemo
2. Type: flasher-3.5 -F <FIASCO image> -f (RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM in this case)
3. Hit enter then plug in your usb cable to the computer then while off open ur N900's keyboard and press u and keep holding it
4. after some seconds a cmd window will pop out showing flashing status probably for 5 mins
$. After it finishes close everything and disconnect usb
p.s. why don't they just provide a one name instead of several a.k.a's
