Angstrom kernel 2.6.21 and modules can be found in:
http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=24960&st=210&start=210

Flashing the 2007.12 image and then flashing only the kernel (and extracting
the modules) seems to work (altboot works again). I don't know if 2.6.21
breaks something else though.

The kernel can also be built by using OE/bitbake (it has a recipe for 2.6.21).
(We can also wait for 2.6.24 - possibly it fixes altboot problems).

A suggestion for Angstrom maintainers: if the "console-altboot-image" for
2007.12 has the same altboot problem in all Cxx0 models (as in C750) maybe it
should be removed from the release dir.
