Hi Franky,

I downloaded:
fso-image-nox-om-gta02.tar.gz
modules-2.6.28-andy-tracking+gitr10+901d73fe51f33032b34b2ae5612eb863ec90532a-r3-om-gta02.tgz
uImage-2.6.28-andy-tracking+gitr10+901d73fe51f33032b34b2ae5612eb863ec90532a-r3-om-gta02.bin

from: http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/unstable/daily/om-gta02/20090412/

Then, untared both fso-image-nox-om-gta02.tar.gz and the modules on to the 
second partition (ext2) on the SD card.  Copied the uImage to uimage.bin on 
to the first partition (vfat).

Then ran the changes from your script.  Removed the old modules, as 
fso-image-nox-om-gta02.tar.gz contains modules for 2.6.28 r2, not r3.

I'll try tomorrow on the phone I guess and see if that's any better.  Apart 
from the WSOD, it all seemed to be working pretty well.  Call quality was 
good.

I didn't use the kernel you mentioned, because don't have the modules for it.

Regards
Glen Ogilvie
