I'm running CSSU-Thumb and backupmenu/bootmenu and am trying to boot Nemo from an SD card. In the past, i've used the flasher with -k and -l switches and it's booted fine. That's not bringing me any joy (doesn't get past upgrade mode screen, maybe not even receiving the kernel?) and I like the idea of actually being able to reboot into Nemo without having a machine and the flasher with me so am wanting to install U-boot. Currently getting errors from HAM about the correct version of kernel-modules being installed.

Am I correct in thinking that it can't be done this way around, that I'd have to reflash, install U-boot then do the upgrades?

If you are using faster application manager.
Open X Terminal, gain root access.
and type "fapt-get install u-boot-tools"
This will prompt you to upgrade the package, confirm with yes.
If not using FAM then replace fapt-get with apt-get.

Hope this helps.

i understand and the first time the problem is that i can't start maemo ... every time i'm in reboot loop
if i start maemo OS with x term i know what to do , but i can't force phone to start OS

I was able to boot into maemo default kernel but wasn't able to boot into power kernel.

I am not sure how this can be fixed without booting into the os.
Check with Pali.
Maybe you'll need to reflash.

In Friday will be released new version of uboot with upstreamed all n900 patches :-)

So in the weekend I will compile official release and push to extras-devel.

You can expect ext2/3/4 support for bootmenu and booting 3.x kernels too.

Mission completed.

Out of curiosity - will there be (again) some differences between practical functionality of version from -devel and one hosted on your site?

IIRC, last time, such thing were due to old compiler used by repos. Also, I don't think that anything changed re compiler use by Maemo infra.

You're aware, that only version from -devel wasn't able to boot 3.* kernels, while same version from your site, booted them well... Right?

@Estel: I will push u-boot binary (compiled with my working compiler) to extras-devel, so this problem will be fixed. So we will have only one version of uboot which will work for anything.

Thanks for your awesome work . But this time can you please upload a uboot + power kernel 52 package too, like uboot-power, if not in repo then upload as attachment here for cssu thumb and power kernel users? , latest uboot and kp52 will be great since i and all cssu thumb users cant boot stock kernel and many use kernel power even if theyre not using cssu thumb.
