I've installed the boot menu as per the instructions.

As I used the partitions shown in the post, I've customized menu options on bootmenu.conf to;

Code:
#no need to redefine
#MENU_1_NAME="Internal flash"
#MENU_1_ID="flash"

MENU_2_NAME="Jaunty Internal MMC, partition 3, ext3"
MENU_2_ID="mmc2"
MENU_2_DEVICE="${INT_CARD}p3"
MENU_2_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
MENU_2_FSTYPE="ext3"
MENU_2_FSOPTIONS="noatime" #",data=writeback"
[ -d "/sys/block/${EXT_CARD}/${MENU_2_DEVICE}" ] || MENU_4_NAME="(${MENU_2_NAME}) N/A"

MENU_3_NAME="Power off (when not on charger)"
MENU_3_ID="off"
Booting menu2 (Jaunty), the Ubuntu logo shows up followed by a message 'Incompatible Boot Loader'.

What have i done wrong?
You must use bootmenu that comes with Merinstaller. Install Mer installer and then make a bootmenu .item for ubuntu /etc/bootmenu.d/ubuntu.item for example
