You already have the right one.
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/gre...source-2.6.16/

You can't match it exactly at least due to compile date/time/machine '/proc/version' info included inside image. Due to zImage compression this may make whole image different. What is the length difference?

make n770_defconfig (?)

Hmm, the only unstable code is the 'overclocked' MMC, do you have troubles also with lower MMC speed kernels ? http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#sdhc Particularly the 12MHz one?
EDIT:
And BTW, all those kernels have source patches and .config inside so you can omit just the MMC one (but anyway, disabling MMC multiblock writing and changing clock to 12 MHz should do the same trick). What MMC card you have? Maybe trying different card would make the device more stable?

Which patch it is? 770 hardware can do only pixel doubling (i.e. 2x) not full scalling and pixel doubling is already available in every 770 kernel so what would such patch provide? Well it can do also pixel halving but that feature is not so useful :-)
