Where is the kernel stored ?

Hi, the kernel and initrd are not stored as a file on one of the filesystems, they are stored as a raw binary blob in one of the partitions that have no filesystem. Android images tend to have between 7 and 20+ partitions sometimes... you have to look at the different scripts in the Android SDK to see how the different partitions are populated and how the kernel image is added to the scheme. That being said, once you followed jonsmirl's new build howto with the sources once, you can create images with your own kernel tweaks...
