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:

Code:

ITEM_NAME="Maemo 2.6.28.10power37"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.10power37
ITEM_MODULES=ext3 bq27x00_battery

Boot maemo using power kernel.
Update power kernel to V39 via appman.
download this file to MyDocs
open xterm

Code:

sudo gainroot
cd MyDocs
mkdir Kernel
dpkg-deb -x kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo39_armel.deb /home/user/MyDocs/Kernel

This should extract all files from the deb file into the newly created Kernel folder. Now we move and rename the kernel into multiboot.

Code:

cd Kernel/boot
mv zImage-2.6.28-maemo39.fiasco /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power39

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.

Code:

cd /etc/multiboot.d
nano Maemo-2.6.28.10power37.item

Change the following lines

Code:

ITEM_NAME="Maemo 2.6.28.10power37" to ITEM_NAME="Maemo 2.6.28.10power39"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.21.10power37 to ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.21.10power39

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)

download
-kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo39_armel.deb (1st)
-kernel-power-modules_2.6.28-maemo39_armel.deb (2nd)
-kernel-power-flasher_2.6.28-maemo39_armel.deb (3rd)

then

-run xterm
-sudo gainroot
-dpkg -i location/of/file (intsall them the consecutively as shown above)

then follow the step below ? i think this is what i did last night...

you have to partition your SD memory card.

but after boot into default kernel, i then apply the kernel v37 multiboot again ,this time it work with v37 and reboot choose 1st option for v.37 then it boots fine.
