N810 power problems, bootloader upgrade, won't boot
I've been having power problems with my N810. These problems appear on startup (see three links below) and are supposedly fix by a bootloader upgrade, so I upgraded using the Maemo Diablo Fiasco image "RX-44_DIABLO_4.2008.23-14_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin". Perhaps this has fixed the problem, but it has caused another: now the N810 won't boot with the kernels I build, nor will it boot with the zImage-n8x0-2008-05-15 test kernel that Tony Lindgren provided recently. By not booting I mean that I see the NOKIA splash screen only; nothing else happens.
Any ideas what I need to do? I'd rather not downgrade because of problems I've had with the device suddenly powering off when idle [3].
Thanks.

You need to leave out the machine id hack patch now, that's no longer needed as the diablo image seems to use the official machine id.

Okay, that works. I should have thought of that myself. Thanks!

Diablo releases are using the oficial Machine ID for n810 hw, so the hack in mach-types is not needed anymore.
