But strange, "Loading Boot Menu" would only appear if something was left or is present from bootmenu and/or backupmenu.

Any explanations? Perhaps a potential solution?

So bootmenu presence is not strange.
The problem is that he has PowerKernel on his phone nand, but the restored image is not PowerKernel aware and phone can't boot

Multiboot has been lost when you have restored the wrong image (wrong for your kernel).
Now you have only bootmenu (and I suppose backupmenu).
It is possible that backupmenu is working, but even then, it will work only for 20-30sec

That's why I asked to you start with making a backup of your own with backup menu. The link referred to by others, was to describe a theoretical situation to restore without USB.
Dude, they told me that I had to restore the backup and they gave me a link.
Which was this: http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/Backu...omplete_image/
And yes I had multiboot, but after that I installed backupmenu and the multiboot was gone but I think the kernels are there.
...
This must be the current situation (Fabry has mostly mentioned it):
- In nand you probably have 2.6.28.10-power49 (from the former situation)
- On rootfs you now have backup menu and the default kernel 2.6.28-omap1 libraries. No multiboot images in /boot, because that imagefile has no multiboot.
Backup menu is the first thing started when keyboard open, so I can imagine it tries to load. It could be the former multiboot situation gives some trouble. Backup menu was not made with multiboot in mind (the creator of backupmenu did't like the concept of multiboot at all, but it could be easly adapted for multiboot).
Pressing the "r" for restore during the backup/bootmenu will probably not react...
I am sorry to see that the technical explanation in http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=21 did not end up in the right choice. When you later asked if the image from the link would overwrite the kernel (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=23) I could honestly say no, because it doesn't. I did not expect you where actually gonna use this images for a restore (causing a mismatch), but only mentioned it to described a fictive situation to point out the kernel overwrite.
Again, I feel very bad about the whole situation. I was under the impression the situation was clear and in any case, you would start with making a backup of your own device to be restored in case of emergency.
Then after about 20 seconds, it turns off.
