I support the idea, but since, I don't have an SDcard, and I use the NITdroid autoinstaller, I have to stick with this shitty multiBOOT. Currently, I'm planning to buy a 16GB class10 microSD to solve the problem.
Is there any way to uninstall NITdroid safely? The autoinstaller removes kernel-power too...

sudo gainroot
mount /home/ /and
apt-get --purge --auto-remove remove nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-(07or 06)
(after that operation you get "device resorce busy bla,bla" it's normal because you delete kernel,which needed to boot droid from /and
don't worry)
cd ..
remove with rm -rf every folder,with the exception of these folders "opt,user,and,lost+found"
cd /home/user/MyDocs
umount /and
rm -rf /and
cd /home
ls -a
checked if left eventually for folder "and" sometimes is happen
then removed it
This is which I use when installed droid on emmc,but under NITdroid autoinstaller,I don't know but probably is the same method

Thanks! I will use your guide as soon as I've got the microSD in my phone.

While we're on the subject, I have a second n900, and I want to apt-get kernel power 49, does anybody have a clue what switches/options i need to use to pull down version 49 (i.e. not the latest version)?

:eek:
Please also make sure you never used moveroot.sh scripts that are floating all over the internet. These scripts used to move files from /usr/lib and /usr/share to some place like /home/usr/lib and /home/usr/share. These folders are also blindly used by nitdroid as part of its system.
If you remove those your e.g. locale settings will get screw badly. Well there are ways of rebuilding those, but finding these information on talk.maemo.org depends toomuch on luck than on search skills :eek:

downgrade
package info

You'll have to install four packages, kernel-power, kernel-power-modules, kernel-power-bootimg, and kernel-power-flasher

I optified with this guide: guide
I used it at the last reflash, and had no issues. But I don't want troubles, and I have space, so it's a possibility, that I don't uninstall everything, just multiBOOT, or I just delete the old and big NIT droid files.

But I think disappear's guide is good. And I'll make a full backup before.
Thanks for warning.

You will have to add the bootmenu entry MANUALLY.
You will have to copy two files to two destinations after upgrading, and before reboot.
This bootmenu script to /etc/multiboot.d/
This vmlinuz to /boot/multiboot/
I hope it goes well. If not, you can try out rescueOS like I did.

can you guide me recueos step by step ?

Man, that was the step by step guide...
You update through Hildon application manager, then you follow my instructions about copying that two files.
I've uploaded everything, and I told what I did. I can't do more...
Use midnight commander, it's easier for copying.
After all, you should reboot, and see what happens.
