I'm partway through getting the repo on my work machine now. I think I found a copy of the kernel I tried building on my windows machine<update: it wasn't. it was a boot.img that I tried splitting and rejoining in kpack, didnt work>. I trried flashing it into my phone, but the phone doesnt make it past the Galaxy boot screen. I can ADB into it though and navigate the filesystem. The same thing happens when I try to use the odinkrnl.tar made when i run ./odinkrnl.pl shabby-rc1 with my new virtual machine... stock and hroark-12 work fine though.

I think I figured out why I was getting errors from Odin though... it was my fault. I was trying to set the file as the PDA image, not as one package. It still doesn't explain why winrar on my windows machine was unable to open the tar file, but the ones I make now open no problem
