Ok, I'm now booted into power-kernel V39!! Here is what I did.

Boot maemo using power kernel.
Update power kernel to V39 via appman.
download this file to MyDocs
open xterm
This should extract all files from the deb file into the newly created Kernel folder. Now we move and rename the kernel into multiboot.
You should now have the correct kernel in the correct place, with the correct name. All that is left now is to adjust the item file.

Change the following lines
Reboot and you should now see the new kernel where the old one was.

Please bear in mind that I am in work and get regularly interrupted by people calling. Although I have tried my best to ensure everything is spelled correctly, there may be a few typos so I recommend using tab to complete paths and file names.

Edit, to quote titan:

So you really do not need to do this. The guide is only really for people that already have. (i.e 1st steps have been done and you have had to boot back into default maemo)

So, if we are using multiboot we can also install kernel-power-bootimg and get the bootmenu intergration... right?

When you update/install V39 it provides this functionality, however, if you read above it is not straight forward and you have to manually get the kernel to use it with multiboot.

V37 already has this so there is no point upgrading unless you are a developer.

Ok I figured it out. The kernel-power-bootimg package just adds the kernel into /boot. You don't have to download the .deb packages and get the kernel from there

Ah, OK, you will still need to move in to /boot/multiboot and probably have to rename it too.

Thank you very much for taking your time looking into my problem.

The contents of my item file, located at /etc/multiboot.d/Maemo-2.6.28.10power37.item are:

in going through this nitdroid installation, a partitioning of memory is needed, is this correct?

you can get them here:

Please post nitdroid issues in the nitdroid help thread in future(stickied at the top of this forum). you are more likely to get a response and it leaves this thread to deal with multiboot issues.

you have to partition your SD memory card.
