Hi David,

The gta01 kernel uImage-2.6.28-andy-tracking+gitr2
+4c9a8d5badc466a68d71754d47bbb792a8dc44da-r4-om-gta01.bin is here 

http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/testing/Neo1973/

In there you will also find the tarball which can extracted to the uSD
card. You don't need to touch the modules file unless you are going to
use the kernel with a different rootfs than the one provided there.

The file name is a function of how OE does updates so yes the 2.6.28
file does contain 2.6.29-rcx files and will remain that way until the
kernel is based of the 2.6.29 released version.
