Good. that's why I wrote the page and the installation script so people can do that if they choose to.

any hint where i could find it?
You'll find the kernel from the the same place you take the image (the .raw.bz2 file). The kernel is the file that's name ends with e.g. vmlinuz-2.6.37-42.6.DE-adaptation-n900

And about the eMMC installation. While you are free to do that - you should know that the performance is better when running it from e.g. class 6 memory card. So I'd recommend using a class 6 memory card and booting it using uboot. Doing this doesn't require flashing/loading the kernel. Besides it's simpler and the preferred way.

ps. If you end up doing the eMMC installation don't get fooled about the "takes about 10 minutes" message. In reality it takes something like 20-30 minutes.
