Can reach Ubiboot menu, can reach repair console, cannot start any of the OS.... ?!

Hum.... wtf... The zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_040613 I flashed is 7,899,680Bytes while the one I just downloaded is 6,706,056 bytes ?!
Edit: MD5S matches on the image I originally downloaded. Which file could prevent any OS to load, if corrupted ?
EDIT2: Duhhhh... I untar the preinits.tar directly in "/sbin/" not in "/"
If still you have problems, please post the ubiboot logs /var/log/ubiboot.dmesg and /var/log/ubiboot.log

One of the advantages of Open mode and ubiboot should be: 'You will not need to flash the device to install and test a new kernel; just copying the kernel and modules to the device is enough.'

Download file:
zImage
ubiboot-02_040613.tar
Copy to /home/user/MyDocs/boot:
ubiboot.conf
ubiboot-02.menus.cpio
Copy to /boot (which is empty!):
zImage (changed to zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+12fix)
zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_040613
Correct and if then further what to do?
Every other kernel you need goes to /boot/, and possinbly if you have different modules then they go to /lib/modules/<kernelname>/
However, the zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_040613 is the ubiboot kernel, the 1st stage kernel that you need to flash to the device.

Or even if I have the old stuff: "zImage.pr13: (not recommended) before Ubiboot was published, this was the latest zImage being used for dual-booting or multi-booting NITDroid."
It's not enough to avoid flash to get new kernel?

Yes, I can boot Harmattan 
, Android and Nemo 2.6.32.
Thank you !
Is it normal I cannot boot (black screen) "Unstable 3.5.3 SabreTSq" ?
I read that it could take some time, so I have plugged it and I am waiting...

It is not a "user-kernel", in a way that it is meant to be a boot loader 1st stage, which then launches your "real" kernels which run your OS.
Think of it like Grub or LiLo, or Uboot.

Ubiboot is just the method to select between all these kernels (and of course the OS that the kernel runs, as default it can be Harmattan, Nitdroid or Nemo. Later maybe something else too... FFOS, SailfisOS, Tizen,...)

See, the menu entries are configured in your ubiboot.conf. For each OS/Kernel combination you find a configuration section there.
The lines are just examples, you need to copy the kernels and modules to the device or edit the ubiboot.conf to your own desire.
And yes, the SabreToothSquirrel is my take on porting the 3.5.3 linux kernel to Nemo... nowhere near usable and needs LOTS of work

Well, ubiboot.dmesg looks okay, can you paste the ubiboot.log also?
Can you show what is on your /boot/ directory? (ls -la /boot)
Did you extract the preinits correctly? (ls -la /sbin/preinit*)

I have earlier used this procedure for Open mode: http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=241.0
meaning zImage.pr13 but without sillyboot and NITDroid.
Instead I have multiboot from here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86957
I have flashed to Open mode in Windows7 therefore /boot is empty (e.g. no zImage here)
Checking my N9 in terminal shows:
~ # export LANGUAGE=C
~ # accli -I
Current mode: open
IMEI: 357923045945013
Credentials:
UID::root
GID::root
GRP::root
GRP::adm
GRP::dialout
GRP:: pulse-access
~ # uname -r
2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301
Want to change kernel to:
zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_040613
Using this procedures:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Ubiboot#Moving...g_Filebox_Root
Download file:
zImage
ubiboot-02_040613.tar
Copy to /home/user/MyDocs/boot:
ubiboot.conf
ubiboot-02.menus.cpio
Copy to /boot (which is empty!):
zImage (changed to zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+12fix)
zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_040613
Correct and if then further what to do?
OK
