Do you have SD card inside? Pull out and try again.
If not, put one inside and try again. (preferably this, as I have one inside)
Yes, instantly loads Maemo. Note: When keyboard opened and flashed via USB opens bootmenu, when loading with u-boot 2012.04-2 the kernel it not shows up. Is it important to ?

Yes i have one inside, i do what u sad and the same error occurs.

Then I think I do not have an idea anymore.
Or maybe one try: boot with keyboard out, select u-boot console and type run attachboot. But I guess this will produce the same error

Well, according to http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...0&postcount=23 the 2104 hw revision is a bit problematic. This with addition to the fact that new u-boot has some important change in atags reading/setting (at least as far as i understood after reading last few pages quickly) may be the reason for your help.

Pali, could you comment on that? It looks Nobless has N900 with hw rev 2104 which cannot be booted with new u-boot. May it be a release blocker?

Nobless, could you boot your N900 by loading kernel from flasher via usb and try to read atags? Here is instruction how to do that once you successfully boot your n900 using flasher - it is important that you do this using flasher and not load kernel by old, working u-boot. If it's indeed a problem with u-boot, this may help solve it not only for you, but for many other 2104 owners.

very very sorry! just rechecked HW revision with
cat /peroc/cpuinfo
Typed a mistake in the older post.
The HW revision is 2204 not 2104! Long time ago I checked the revision so similars numbers of misled me.. Still need a dump of readed atags ?

please note, that framebuffer module (fbcon) and also /sbin/preinit are stored in rootfs. If rootfs is corrupted no framebuffer output!
works nicely when kernel flashed via USB! that means mine rootfs is not corrupted. So the problem related to something else ?

Do not think so, but better to provide it in that thread, so pali (or yourself) may compare easily.
I also do not think that your rootfs is corrupted, but have no clue.

Please, could anyone point me to any tutorial or how-to, about migrating from an already existing multiboot installation (with Nitdroid and backupmenu) to an uboot/bootmenu based one?

Or do I need to first uninstall all the stuff (Nitdroid, backupmenu, KP, multiboot) and start over?
