    So I recently followed the directions to put Nitdroid on my n900 internal memory, and sadly, I ended up rebooting to a choice of only booting Nitdroid.
    Pressing 0 makes it do this:

    Maemo (default)

    BOOTING - PLEASE WAIT

    Kernel: 2.6.28-omap1
    Params:
    Modules:

    Can't flash kernel, required files not found
    Guru Meditation #00000025.62017712

    Press any key to Panic!

    Then obviously, I do press any key, and bam. back to the multiboot screen.

    What do I do, other than a full reflash?

    Thanks in advance

    FIXED
    I also tried sticking it into Windows 7 to flash it, and it didn't work. (came up with "device disconnected" after I plugged it in while holding u)

    This is what I did:
    Install the flasher:
    http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...mo_Flasher-3.5

    Download the kernel into the program files/maemo/flasher 3.5 (or whatever files is there:
    http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php

    Then, plug in your device. if you get my error during driver installation, get this, and install it, and plug in the device before running it. it will create an alternate driver for windows to use:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/libu...0.zip/download

    once you've done that, open the flasher, and run the following command (replace the bit in bold with your version of the maemo):
    flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R

    that's it! you should be able to go in to maemo after pressing 0!

    hope that helps people.

    Useful post mate, thanks. I installed NITdriod and didn't come across that issue - the pain for me was to get OC'ing back up and running in Maemo

    Could you elaborate on that? I'm having the same issue with overclocking and not sure how to proceed without breaking anything.

    the autoinstaller is slow over 3g. (and unless I'm wrong, only installs to the external memory, which is slow)

    You only needed to flash the stock kernel to fix this, FWIW.

    oddly enough, after flashing to the stock kernel after my issue with multiboot, I am unable to overclock!

    I tried going to the application manager to install the enhanced kernel- and the corresponding settings package, then rebooting- nothing.

    tried doing this in xterm, nothing:
    apt-get install kernel-power=2.6.28-maemo43 kernel-power-modules=2.6.28-maemo43 kernel-power-flasher=2.6.28-maemo43

    What's up? Anyone else having this issue?
