if it's only a kernel issue you just have to reinstall the 2 apps and reboot
nothing soooo hard nop ?

Moreover it is a matter of principle ... i want to understand where is allocated the kernel so that Robbie can even solve this sort of "bug" .

@Dany69: would you mind rephrasing your problem more precisely so that it's easier to help you?

OK, let me answer a few things:
1. Like a couple of you figured out, trying to flash PR1.1 doesn't work. At all. If you are having trouble, you have to flash PR1.2(which seems to reset the kernel to the default), THEN immediately flash your RootFS image. Once you do that, you open the keyboard, unplug the USB cable, and boot into BackupMenu, from which you restore the OptFS.
2. To reinstall titan's kernel, you simply have to gain root, then do "apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power kernel-power-flasher", like others figured out.
3. As Dana was talking about, I thought for most of this topic that the Kernel was installed in the RootFS. Now, I'm not so sure, because when you flash PR1.2, then your RootFS image, you are back to the default kernel. This is because either A, the kernel is stored somewhere else, or B, the boot link to the kernel is stored elsewhere(whatever tells it which kernel to use). If you know which it is, let me know.

Indeed, I seem to remind by yesterday's ominous reflashings, that the flasher pc utility can flash either a complete fiasco image including all, or the rootfs only, or the kernel only, or other tids and bits only. So the kernel isn't included into the rootfs, positively!
See man flasher-3.5 on a gnu-linux machine.

Though, just because it can flash the kernel separately doesn't mean it has to be stored elsewhere - its just dealing with files after all.
And, if its stored elsewhere, -where- would it be stored?

Debernardis , Robbie has just focused my problem 
I am a curious type of nature... and this fact that i don't know where the kernel is driving me crazy XD ..
By the way ... i've succeded to find the flashable version of the kernel to have everything usable out of box without any other 3.proceeding :P
I've looked for it browsing the kernel through PC ...
Here all the versions...
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../kernel-power/
But i noticed that this were only some debian packages that cannot be flashed...
So 7 zip helped me
And here the new kernel 40 :
http://www.mediafire.com/?ednad0xmatezc8y
This should be flashed after the flash with fiasco with the command:
flasher-3.5.exe -k zImage-2.6.28-maemo40.fiasco -f
Now i try
EDIT: mmm ... it doesn't work ... after flashing even the kernel ... the phone doesn't boot... only white nokia screen .. T_T ... even not restoring the image made with the programm ...
What the hell ...

Did you try the "safe restore method"?

FIASCO images are more than a simple rootfs image with a .fiasco file extension, you can generate fiasco images which contain custom rootfs images, custom kernels, custom everything using fiasco-gen, you'll need scratchbox for that.

Is that possible that NOONE know where the il located the kernel ???
Someone say me that the kernel is in the rootfs (/proc/sys/kernel) and restoring the backup everything should go ..
But the problem is that after restoring the root after the flash with the fiasco image... the OC doensn't wotk ! ! !
I've even sent a PM to the BIG TITAN ... but no reply ...
Maybe could it be a problem of mounting?
Maybe the proc directory needs to be mounted like a subdirectory of the root? ? ?
Or maybe i'm saying a lot of bullsh.it... T_T
PS: sorry for the outburst
