Guys,
I got it all working and so happy, pretty straight forth really.
Multiboot loads menu when keyboard out. The first option boots Maemo, as does keyboard in, second option which lists as power kernel just blinks and back to Multiboot menu as does NIT options 3 & 4. NITDroid option 5 boots Android as it should. I have tried to reinstall the power kernel though no change.
I did slightly change things as I wanted these files in a folder all together, tidier. Would this still work or my issue?

Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...power37.tar.gz
cd /
tar xzvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid/multiboot-power37.tar.gzcd /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid
wget http://downloads.nitdroid.com/Jay-c/...power37.tar.gz
cd /
tar xzvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid/multiboot-power37.tar.gz

Also, have I done something wrong and hence why NITDroid lists as options 3, 4 & 5 though only 5 loads and can I remove the non working options 3 & 4?

Hmmm,
Odd that one. How do you get the code to show in the box, formatted etc?
Anyway, did it incorrectly and tried to edit and ended up duplicating the post, sorry.

?? You should only have two options on the boot menu if you are using multiboot 2.5 like the tutorial states..
1. Maemo
2. NITDroid

check your rootfs. If 100% used the rootfs got mounted when you tried to mount mmcblk1p2 and thats why you have issues. Just do this in xterm and that should fix it (if it's rootfs related).

sudo gainroot 'enter'
cd /and 'enter'
rm -rf * 'enter'

Then do the NITdroid install again from step 6.

Well that would be great though I don't, I am sure it is error on my behalf, what and where?

Well not understanding what is happening, where and why, I will list what I know. If you could assist and direct my to fix the errors, That would be great.
Under /boot I have the following files:
multiboot (folder)
System.map-2.6.28.NIT.02
System.map-2.6.28.NIT.03
vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1
vmlinuz-2.6.28-NIT.02
vmlinuz-2.6.28-NIT.03

Under /boot/multiboot I have the following files:
vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1
vmlinuz-2.6.28-NIT.05

Under /etc/multiboot.d I have the following files:
Maemo-2.6.28-omap1.item
Maemo-2.6.28.1-Opower37.item
NITdroid-2.6.28.NIT.02.item
NITdroid-2.6.28.NIT.03.item
NITdroid-2.6.28.NIT.05.item

I think the boot menu list what is shown in /etc/multiboot.d folder?

Currently as it stands the Power Kernel doesn't load from boot menu. As I asked above, any assistance would be great mate, way over my head. Are the files listed in red not required and can i erase them? Further Can I change the name of the files in the /etc/multiboot.d folder and will that change how they display in the boot menu without any knock on effects?

I not too good with this stuff either, but I'm 95% sure you must complete these steps (after downloading required files in step 1):

Then run this as root On the device:

Code:

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

3. Now lets get down to actually installing things starting with Multiboot:

Code:

dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/multiboot-extras_0.1_armel.deb
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/multiboot_0.2.5_armel.deb

Thats the new Multiboot installed

EDIT: I really don't know much else about this sorry, I just followed the steps, except the partitioning part, it all worked, and it removed the .item files from previous multiboot X)
