I've been trying to locate the exact kernel source for 2008HE on 770 which identifies itself as
Linux - 2.6.16.27-omap1 #1 PREEMPT arm5tejl1 unknown

The binary comes in the SU-18_2008HACKER_4.2007.50-6_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin package, is 1268864 bytes long and the md5 is 4eb9d9c8d177fd5a6c81ebbd1272daf5. I've been trying to compile the exact same binary using the kernel-source-2.6.16_2.6.16.rel-osso29.tar.gz from the repository, but I can't get a binary zImage to match exactly. So it seems this kernel has at least some patches added to it.

Can someone point me to the sources and .config file used to build the kernel image in the 2008HACKER version ?

I'm interested because when using Fanoush's MMC kernels I got frequent crashes and reboots, while when using this kernel the device is quite stable. I intend to apply a patch to enable hardware scaling (which I need for running a lowres game) and the Fanoush patches to this stable kernel if I can first build an identical binary copy from the sources.
