Hi, we have the same problems here. We successfully re-compile the Samsung Android kernel sources but we get a zImage of just 3.1MB that doesn't boot the TAB.
It seems there's a lack of something (lack of informations too!) compared to the official Samsung P1000 zImage (~7MB). Someone could help? Thanks in advance.
