I downloaded the kernel from the maemo 5 sdk, which gave me kernel_2.6.28.orig.tar.gz and kernel_2.6.28-20094102.3+0m5.diff

After extracting the kernel and patching it with the diff file I had a working kernel. From there I patched it with the android kernel patches.

Your situation is a little different from mine since your using the n810 with a mainline kernel. Maybe the original nitdroid_kernel.config will give you an idea of which one to use.

yep looked at the config its based off 2.6.28. It has loadable module support so may be able to load modules to the kernel that way

ok i am a new n900 user willing to test anything on my device i supose i got to fill the 48 gb with something.do you think we can have a stable release of android on n900 soon? allways dreamed of android running on nseries tablets as i have had them all n900 being my current device.the main thing that i think is if it happens it should be a easy installation this will ensure instalation to the masses good luck i will be watching very close.

can we have a working and not working list in each devices as updates come out make it look clean and easy to keep track of.and a easy to understand guide for instalations so even noobs can find it easy to follow.

www.nitdroid.com has a fairly well organized list of what is and is not workin

EDIT:

this looks like it may be useful > my current error <3>soc_camera: version magic '2.6.32 preempt mod_unload ARMv6 ' should be '2.6.28-nitdroid preempt mod_unload ARMv6 '

that error is what i expected to get and easyily fixed (ignore the modulei was just compiling a small module as test(for the n8x0 camera) ) so im tryign to compile sound subsystem now as module see if i can import it to a running kernel

Here is a page I used that has very good references for the N900.
