AFAIK it's generated by the bootloader. If you enable fbcon in the console it will be overwritten by the kernel boot messages but fbcon is unstable and leads to crashes.
That's why I have disabled it.
If you nonetheless want to test it you can install the older version maemo8 from http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...free/k/kernel/

the new version maemo12 works fine on my device.
it includes additional g_serial, g_ether modules and Matan's ppp_async patch.

@titan
Have you gotten the ext4-module to work?
It loads for me but I can't mount an ext4-filesystem

Installed version maemo8 and the boot screen's disabled
Is there a way to continue showing the boot log on the second progress screen, i.e after going into USER mode?
One more thing, sometimes it reboots while booting up or reboots after being shut down.

I have not tried ext4 yet. did you use the onbard mkfs.ext4?

reg boot log: I guess that's when the X server takes over the screen...
the reboots are the reason why I disabled fbcon in recent kernels.
the next step is to upgrade to 2.6.28.10 but AFAIK it doesn't fix fbcon.

On windows:

Linux:
sudo flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -u
After it finishes unpacking the image type
flasher-3.5 -k zImage -f -R
Easiest way is to place the image in the same dir of the flasher and use the command as it is. Remember to change the filename of the image to whatever file you're using
As I mentioned above, this did not work for me for whatever reason.

Well it was redisabled when I updated to maemo12.
I'll see if I can enable it manually

@craftyguy, what was the error?

one possible explanation could be that you had an earlier kernel (< maemo5) installed
that removes the original Nokia modules. newer version don't touch the original modules.

don't bother to do it. it's not compiled in.
