Sorry about the typo .. I meant MyDocs/bootmenu.img.d
And I understand that the copy and convert part needs to be done by the script. I was just checking if that particular folder has i/o or access problem by manually copying something into it.
Output of ls -l /boot/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1746688 Jan 16 2012 zImage-2.6.28-omap1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1770180 Jan 16 2012 zImage-2.6.28-omap1-fb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1785760 Jul 23 21:45 zImage-2.6.28.10-power51

Yes MyDocs is writable. Just in case I also did a filesystem check before trying it out.
Although I tried manually copying zImage into /home/user/MyDocs/bootmenu.d/ folder and it gave an error. Elsewhere in MyDocs I can cut/copy stuff. Could it be that the permissions for /home/user/MyDocs/bootmenu.d/ have gone wrong ?
Latest thing I could imagine you are running out of space on MyDocs?

Probably because CSSU-Thumb requires patches only present in KP51r1 kernel and up. All other kernels go into boot loop. I faced the same issue today.

I solved my U-Boot problem a few days back. Just reporting here in case it happens to anyone else.
Initial failure was due to FAM, it updated u-boot-flasher but not u-boot-tools. Second time around somehow my KP51 zImage in /boot was corrupted so mkimage failed to convert. I was able to resolve by manually deleting the corrupted zImage and reinstalling KP51 bootimage.
Also for CSSU-thumb KP51r1 and above is required. Don't forget to change default bootitem to KP51r1 as the attached kernel will not boot into Maemo with cssu-thumb installed.

Hopes to see a N900 port for U-Boot v 2.0 (now called "Barebox bootloader") ?

@elros34: U-Boot on n900 is configured to use bootmenu "config" files from first fat eMMC partition = MyDocs. If you want to run your own uboot script from SD card, correct way is to create bootmenu item file with script file name.
/etc/bootmenu.d/50-SD-boot.conf
Re-run u-boot-update-bootmenu and then you will have new menu entry in uboot for booting uboot script from SD card, first fat32 partition.
/etc/bootmenu.d/50-SD-boot.conf
Code:
ITEM_NAME="Script boot.scr from SD card"
ITEM_SCRIPT="boot.scr"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1"
ITEM_FSTYPE="fat"

And copying will not work, as kernel image needs to be converted from z to uImage.
Please give output of
ls -l /boot
