Why does it sound better to update it yourself...

Steps (as I understand it):
  1. Remove any of
    • modest
    • powerlaunch
    • spellchecker browser add-on
    which is installed. (Modest is now default, you can try reinstalling powerlaunch and spellchecker when you're done.)
  2. Edit the sources list as suggested here.
  3. Follow mvo's instructions, summary:

Anyone who can't do that probably wouldn't succeed with a tarred rootfs, either.
I think these should be added too:
sudo gainroot
rm /usr/share/osso/images/initfs.jffs2
flash-and-reboot

This will give you the new kernel as I found out first at 12:30 AM :P :/

Here is my stripped down diablo initfs, it doesn't work so DONT flash it but it is the original with the crap removed so it fits in flash.
I attach it if someone wants to work on it. I don't have the time.
