Am i right ? What about the modules ? In general (I am an old linux user but new into internet tablet n800) we have to be care that kernel modules match the kernel image ... so flashing a new kernel may be dangerous if modules are not updated... unless there is a mecanism that allows flashing that ?
I don't think that the sdhc-kernel.bin is the full FIASCO firmware image but just the kernel part. So you might have to add a few parameters to the flasher-3.0 command to just flash the kernel. I have not done this myself but just going on what I have read in the past. There are more specific instructions available somewhere.

More info might be found here:

There seem to be a few third-party built kernels floating around so YMMV.
