Where did you install the kernel - in image creator's chroot before
the USB image creation? I am a little unclear about your entire
workflow.
What distro are you using - Intrepid or Hardy? This discussion seem to
be going off-topic for kernel-team list. Maybe we should move it to
the mobile mailing list.

Amit
