Now we're gettng somewhere. It has been my opinion since the beginning of Mer, that everything should have been bottom up. First get an updated kernel running in Diablo, then replace libc, ..., etc. Dual booting or kexecing was never going to be a bridge for me. It's chroot, or LD_LIBRARY_PATH or nothing. I know you're leaving Maemo completely behind, but if you were to build one kernel that runs well in both Maemo 5 and MeeGo, they will come.
