How do I remove u-boot? flasher does not see the n900, at startup to boot u-boot wrote starting kernel and all, it is advisable to flash the kernel to the standard
The n900 will only go into update mode if the battery is sufficiently full. IT worked for me by charging it for a bit then, making sure it was off, holding the u key while plugging in the pc connector

This is a simplified guide for dual-booting with u-boot on Nokia N900.
You must be using the PR1.3 kernel and nothing else. You will likely end up in a reboot loop if you don't have this otherwise. To check this, in Maemo X-Terminal, type "uname -a" and make sure you see:
Linux Nokia-N900 2.6.28-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Fri Aug 6 11:50:00 EEST 2010 armv7l unknown
and "dpkg -l | grep kernel-modules" should show 2.6.28-20103103+0m5.
If there's guides that doesn't have this warning, blame those people.

So to avoid problems with u-boot on the upgrade of kernel-power we have to be on stock kernel??

Did I have well understood??
Thanks in advance.
Generally:
* Installation of kernel-power -after- uboot-pr13 install will wipe out uboot, as expected
* Installation of kernel-power -and then- install uboot-pr13 WILL cause a reboot loop (You're installing a kernel where the modules doesn't match).
Someone can make a uboot-kernel-power if they want. We're doing the uboot-pr13, matching the officially released PR1.3 kernel.
1 - Expand attached archived on SD (must be on third Fat partition)
2 - Start N900 and enter on u-boot interactive console (by booting with open keyboard and pressing any key).
3 - Type mmc init and press enter
4 - Type run loadbootscript and press enter
5 - Type run bootscript and press enter
This should run maemo with stock PR1.3 kernel (included in the zip file).
After booting I suggest downgrading to power43 kernel with the command (as root):
