Root how to open and edit boot.img ?

Hey yall I was hoping one of you wonderful people can tell or give me a guide to open, edit and repack a boot.img?

Thank you all !!!!
I use the Android Kitchen to do em, simply for the ease of all the scripts and the menu to run em. But its the unpackbootimg and packbootimg scripts you need.

What are you wanting to edit in it?

I was gonna try to play around with the stock kernal and your kernal to see if I could get hdmi to work?
need more than just the boot.img for that, need the kernel src or figure out what got deleted in the ROM thats needed.

I've not found the cause for it not too work, so I've not really done anything to fix it yet. ;)
