When you finish compiling Android there is a ramdisk.img file which contains everything in the rootdir.

But I'll include everything in the next tarball as before just that will be unused by N8x0 devices as these will continue using the initramfs aproach.

I found the cause, I didn't use the correct compiler. Will fix for the next release.

The EEE hardware have open source Linux drivers that follow standard Linux APIs that don't require binary blobs to work. The NITs require propietary binary daemons (dsme, bme, kicker) to function, it's open source drivers for basic things like Tahvo and Retu ASICs don't expose standard APIs and just modify directly registers, all the real thing is done in userspace and obfuscated by the propietary daemons.

It's a day and night difference, although it could be much worse, it seems Nokia close the door to other OSes than Maemo.

Can you update the links on your page with the latest patch - kernel and user, as well as the latest kernel.config?
I update all source patches at the same time as the precompiled downloads or I'm missing something?

The normal kernel have adb disabled by default, you have to enable it in settings as any normal Android device, the debugging kernel have it enabled by default.
