Maybe I do something wrong but after rename /media/mmc1/bootmenu.scr to /media/mmc1/boot.scr. Next I select External SD card but it doesn't show bootmenu.

Anyway, could you reproduce the issue? Maybe I did something wrong, but I think that adding the additional check that I suggested you won't do any harm.
1. remove multiboot
2. reboot two times to confirm n900 works
3. installed two debs from your first post (second and third one, as first one was marked as not necessary)
4. downloaded tar.gz from your first post and extracted to root, confirmed that zImage files were in /boot and item files in /etc/bootmenu.d
5. removed framebuffer kernel and item file ([...]-omap1-fb)
6. so I had in /boot kernel with -omap1 and power kernel from kernel-power-bootimg package, and in /etc/bootmenu.d entries from your tar (all but the omap1-fb one) and entry from kernel-power-bootimg package (I replaced ITEM_USEATAG to ITEM_REUSEATAGS according to warning which was displayed)
7. i run u-boot-update-bootmenu, it said "Adding bootmenu entry for" and power50, omap1, Nemo, NITDroid and Kubuntu items were processed, but right after "Adding bootmenu entry for: 'Kubuntu'", it failed with message:
Code:
cat: can't open '/var/tmp/bootmenu.cmd.default': No such file or directory
9. in /usr/bin/u-boot-update-bootmenu I wrapped lines 269-270 in the "if" statement as you suggested, re-run u-boot-update-bootmenu
10.

I think this happens if you don't set any default entry (you don't create the symlink "bootmenu.item" in /etc/default/).

2 questions.
First I get the following errors after u-boot-update-bootmenu
Thr kp.item is the one that came with kp-bootimg from extras-testing and the nitdroid one I wrote it myself (probably doesn't work anyway, but it doesn't seem to be the problem)
2nd, I want to boot kernel power by default (in fact I don't even care about PR1.3, I don't need it) how can it be done? I suppose I can generate attached kernel on my pc and flash it just like I did with kp49 but isn't this new uboot supposed to make it easier to upgrade kp?
Thanks
EDIT: feeling stupid. I read the above post and saw I must have a /etc/default/bootmenu.item
please add a more detailed warning in the error or mention the need for this file in the first post. Suppose both my questions are now answered. Rebooting now...

@pali
So, basically, if we want to have power kernel by default, we should run commands
Code:
ln -s /etc/bootmenu.d/20-Maemo5-kernel-power-2.6.28.10-power50.item /etc/default/bootmenu.item u-boot-update-bootmenu

yes I did that but it does not boot. Neither does NitDroid (after reinstalling kernel which recreated the -hopefully- correct item file. I can only boot attached kernel. Kp hangs and nitdroid complains it cannot find the file. Have to go to sleep now but I'll try again tomorrow. G'night.
clarification: after creating the /etc/default/bootmenu.item symlink the error went away but still can't boot

wrap lines 269-270 with if statement as described in post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=256 -
and see if you can boot kernel power manually selecting its menu entry. I can

The default kernel would be omap1 I think, but you should be able to select other kernels manually and they should boot.

I tried it again, without changing anything and I am inside maemo with kp50. Yay!
Now on to boot NITDroid and then Nemo and Ubuntu

I made a uImage of NitDroid kernel, using mkImage, put it in the 2nd sd partition and tried to boot.
It does find the uImage, loads it but it gets stuck at Starting kernel...
what am I doing wrong?
of course NitDroid root is unpacked in that partition

Code:
ITEM_NAME="NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.07 on mmcblk1p2"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.07
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE=${EXT_CARD}p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro
what am I doing wrong?
