[HELP] Kernel-power doesn't work anymore after uninstalling/reinstalling
 
I decided to try out kernel-bfs.
After trying to install, it gave me that there are conflicts with some package from the kernel-power and decided to remove kernel-power.

So I restored the Nokia kernel (from the menu icon), removed the bootimg and did a reboot.
After that, I could still select the power48 option (while I actually removed the bootimg!)

But, that didn't do anything, so I picked stock kernel.

After that, I installed kernel-bfs, and the bootimg of bfs.
But it didn't show up in my bootmenu.

I put the .item file manually into my phone, selected the file, but it doesn't boot anymore. Neither into the stock kernel.

After flashing the kernel-only, I could boot up back into stock.
So, I removed everything from kernel-bfs (also manually the .item file) and decided to put kernel-power (48) back with the bootimg.

Guess what? There was no bootmenu entry for kernel power!?

So again, I added manually the .list file... and the result: Same problem as I had with kernel-bfs: I coudlnt boot anymore into any of my kernels.

So I flashed the kernel again, now I can boot into the stock...

Does anyone know what I should do to fix this problem?

Edit:
Hmm, I tried one more time and it did work after manually adding the .list file and the zImage file.

Altough I find it odd that it doesn't install those files anymore (I had to place them manually in their correct places)

Ok, there are 3 location you have to check

/etc/multiboot.d
/lib/module
/boot

In /etc/multiboot, you should find your *.item file which content should be like this (copied from mine):

ITEM_NAME="Maemo kernel-power 2.6.28.10-power48"
ITEM_KERNEL="2.6.28.10-power48"
ITEM_MODULES="ext3"

In /lib/modules, you should find a folder containing a lot of .ko files (the kernel modules) and this folder should be named 2.6.28.10-power48

And finally, in /boot you should find the bootimg named zImage-2.6.28.10-power48

If ouy miss any of those files, you will have to reinstall kernel packages.

oups, you use bootmenu and not multiboot, the item file is maybe located in another location...

I do use multiboot, but with bootmenu I meant the OS select screen :p

But the problem was that it doesn't install any of the files to the right directories...
