There is an easy way.

download this file into /home/user:

http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...t-0.1.x.tar.gz

Then run this as root in the device:
Code:

cd /home/user
tar xzvf remove-multiboot-0.1.x.tar.gz
./multiboot-remove
rm multiboot-remove
rm remove-multiboot-0.1.x.tar.gz

Also, if you don't use Titans power37 kernel, you can manually delete the files:
Code:

rm /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power37
rm -r /lib/modules/2.6.28.10power37

OR

if you are using multiboot-0.2.x
then,
To remove multiboot-0.2.x, do

apt-get remove multiboot multiboot-extras

or

dpkg -r multiboot multiboot-extras

That's it!

I´ve also tried boot with '0', but I got a loop.

I think nitdroid uninstaller removed all my entries for multiboot.

Is it possible edit multiboot configuration in multiboot screen?
According to README file from multiboot sources ( http://maemo.org/packages/source/vie...boot/0.2.10-1/ ), while on boot screen you can press:
2.1 Menu Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Commands in the menu screen:

1..9 Boot the numbered item, as defined in /etc/multiboot.d/*.item's

0 Boot default (Maemo)
NOTE! this option just boots Maemo with the default kernel,
_without_ any options or extras. It's intented to be a fallback.
Also, this item can not be disabled or configured.

BS Reboot

X Poweroff

S Starts a shell
So maybe you can try hitting "S" to start a shell (never done it myself and I have no idea how it works). Did you try to reflash witk kernel only option?
