No idea. I also had a similar problem and found out the solution myself. The first option (the default one) doesn't flash the default kernel, it leaves the old one flashed.
Wait, so if I choose the default option it'll load whichever kernel was last used? If so, I think there's a bug that makes TV out stop working with the NITDroid kernel in Maemo. The TV detects the phone, but the image remains black and there's no sound in the TV. It's fine as soon as I load any of the Maemo kernels.

@dj_steve and Jay-c i've tried both maemo kernels today again in multiboot and still the same error with the radio module not loading - both the NITdroid omap1 and the omap37 (assume the latter is titans). Muhammad AG compiled a kernel he called NITdroid omap2 wich made the radio work agian (he made a .deb package that installed and flashed at the same time like titans kernel). Could you please, pretty please with suggar on top, include that in multiboot and release an update
For those of you suffering of typing all the commands again for every new release it might be interesting to use the shell "bash" with its comfortable history (instead of built in standard ash ):
In your phone in a shell (as root!) type the following:
Code:
chsh user
and then type /bin/bash
This is for the standard user (which has the username "user").
For the root-Shell do the same without username:
Code:
chsh
and then type /bin/bash
For convinience edit/create the files
/home/user/.bash_profile and /root/.bash_profile
and add the following lines
HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
HISTSIZE=2000
Thats it, next time starting a shell you will have bash command line. From than on the shell remembers your used commands (not starting with a space!) since the last logout and you can search them with CTRL-r .
I find this quite helpful and the idea came up during last maemo user meeting Berlin and is based on tips from c-base residents "lynxs" an "T" . Thanks again guys!
bzcat /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-0.0.5-3-BIG.tbz2 | tar xvf -
it starts the extraction and then at the end it says "tar: write error: read-only file system". I looked through the /and folder to see what it had extracted and it did extract over half of the contents but it doesnt extract everything for the system folder like bin and other things. ive tried many times and restarted many times but still get the same error.
