I added function load_early_modules in my modified preinit which load all modules specified in file /etc/early_modules before anything else.
BTW, I created new thread about /sbin/preinit script (and full getbootstate deb package). Please move discussion about it here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=80298 :-)

@reinob: You're awesome, just in case you didn't know.
Estel and vi_ I replied to your posts in the thread pali just linked to, since he wants to move discussion there.

Anyway. Thanks.
BTW another option to combine with BOOTMENU var (pointing to script) would be
BOOTMENU_WHEN={never,keyboard,camera,always,proxim ity}
Plus a LOADKMAP option pointing to the appropriate KMAP (we have the US already, some day I'll do the DE one

I think we do not need to handle in preinit someting more then keyboard open/close. preinit will run /bootmenu.sh if keyboard is open & file exist.
Also is other then US keymap needed for RECOVERY boot? It is RECOVERY mode :-) !

After installing the latest kernel power and u-boot, I also decided to install the recovery console.
But I have the feeling it did not work out as it should.
After the U-boot Boot Menu I always go to a second menu (BOOT MENU), with a white background (from the bootmenu package I presume) with the same choices as in the U-boot menu, but with the recovery mode option as extra. Starting kernels ends up in "Booting from (mtdblock4 jffs2)", but then the phone freezes, and I have to remove the battery. The nand kernel and the recovery console itself do work when chosen.
Another thing I noticed is that running u-boot-update-bootmenu gave me:
Configuration file: /etc/bootmenu.d/recovery.item
Error: Invalid file - missing kernel or script file
Any idea what might be wrong here?

@ade,
The problem is that u-boot and bootmenu (and perhaps also multiboot) all use the same folder for reading the menu entries (the .item files).
U-boot is designed for running kernels (and needs a kernel, hence your "invalid file" error).
Bootmenu cannot boot kernels (AFAIK kexec does not work reliably). It runs from /sbin/preinit, so after the kernel has loaded.
These programs should ideally be decoupled, so as to avoid these problems. Plus backupmenu, whose .item file is actually a full-blown script that neither u-boot nor bootmenu can work with.
An easy workaround for you would be to patch bootmenu so that it reads the .items from somewhere else and then move the recovery console .item to the new place and keep only kernel-related .items where u-boot expects to find them.

recovery.item can be only booted from Fanoush bootmenu.
If you want, I can change message from "Error: Invalid file" to "Skipped item file" :-)

I second reinob's question about a possible decoupling of both solutions (different folders or whatever. This is mixed up.
