When I try to boot, I get an error message saying that It can't flash the kernel because some needed files are missing: are you using multiboot or bootmenu?
If you're using multiboot, skip entering ITEM_KERNEL portion, SHR works with maemo kernel, try entering ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28-omap1 it works for me. FYI my N900 has 5 multiboots, Maemo, Nitdroid, Ubuntu, Debian and SHR all work well

Actually touch is working, but it wasn't calibrated yet. When you prompted to select language, tap top of the screen above language window to click the next button. You can find the menu to calibrate the touch from the setting menu.

I simply followed the howto (I also installed udev, watchdog and libstdc++ and did an opkg upgrade, and I downloaded kernel modules for power and battery management). This is my shr.item:
ITEM_NAME="SHR"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28-omap1
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE=${EXT_CARD}p3
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=3
IMPORTANT: you have to use the standard kernel, NOT power kernel, during the installation process.
