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.
