DON'T extract the file(s) from the tar that you download, the file that you download IS what you need. Load Into the PDA setting in ODIN Flasher!

I also wanted to Note.... This was a Pain in the Ass!!!
Based On 1.6 Kernel.

- 1 Step Root!
- Full Access To the System by Typing ADB Shell
Asroot (tr3) root hack No longer Works in the New Kernel.

-Default.prop Edit's
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=1
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1


-Init.rc Edit's
I changed the System Re-mount to rw
You can now adb push Anything to /system or /data

This mean's YOU have Root via SH After Flashing, no more using Cat to Push something & No more running the Re-mount Command!.. :)

Revision 3 ( 1.6 Kernel )
- Child set to 0 ( No Settings previously )
- On boot / On init also now Repairs SH / SU
- Changed Memory Allocations for Home App's to 1536 / was at 4098

Shell Enabled Root-Full ADB Access-Root Permission's for App's Set By User
Working ADB at Boot-up ( via Logcat & DDMS working )
USB Debugging Enabled to Help with Root Problems regarding Programs ( Like Titanium Backup )
Root Enabled SH ( Just Like the 1.5 Kernel's )
Here's the Odin Ready Kernel Download. This is the Kernel Only. Works with 1.6 Rom's!
Download > kernel.tar

Revision 2 ( 1.6 Kernel )
Shell Enabled Root-Full ADB Access-Root Permission's for App's Set By User
Full Permission's Fix for SH & SU
Working ADB at Boot-up ( via Logcat & DDMS working )
USB Debugging Enabled to Help with Root Problems regarding Programs ( Like Titanium Backup )
Root Enabled ( Just Like the 1.5 Kernel's )
Here's the Odin Ready Kernel Download. This is the Kernel Only. Works with 1.6 Rom's!
Download > kernel.tar


Revision 1 ( 1.6 Kernel )
Shell Enabled Root-Full ADB Access-Root Permission's for App's Set By User
(Must Push SU to Bin on Factory Rom & Chmod 04755 /system/bin/sh & Chmod 04755 /system/bin/sh &)
Here's the Odin Ready Kernel Download. This is the Kernel Only. Works with 1.6 Rom's!
Download > kernel.tar

I'll Likely get another Revision Out addressing the Permission Repair, regarding sh & su.
This was the First working test Regarding Rooted Kernel..
This will Solve the Issue with Losing Root.
 
uname -a reads the following:

Linux localhost 2.6.29 #1 PREEMPT Wed Mar 17 01:20:00 KST 2010 armv6l GNU/Linux

I assume this means the flash went correctly given the above? I didn't take note of the kernel revision prior to flashing the new kernel.tar


Hats off for another slick mod!

@megabiteg When I flashed the new kerenel I didn't lose anything aside from a few seconds off my boot time.
