[stampsm]

i am going to download and do a file comparison between the two kindle 2 firmwares and see the differences.

edit:
these files are changed in the source dump according to md5 sums

alsa-lib-1.0.13_patch.tar.gz
alsa-utils-1.0.13_patch.tar.gz
busybox-1.7.2.tar.bz2
dosfstools-2.11.tar.bz2
e2fsprogs-1.38_patch.tar.gz
fuse-2.7.1_link.tar
klibc-1.5.tar.bz2
linux-2.6.22-lab126.tar.bz2
module-init-tools-3.2.2_patch.tar.gz
procps-3.2.7_patch.tar.gz
taglib-1.5.tar.bz2
uboot-1.3.0-rc3.tar.bz2
udev-112.tar.bz2

edit 2: it looks like some of the files are not actually different. they just are zipped up in the archives with different time stamps but the same data in the files.

edit 3: so far i have checked everything but the kernel source and the files inside he archives are all identical, except different time stamps that mess with MD5 sums of the archives...

edit 4: the odd thing is most of the time stamps are only 10-20 minutes apart.... 6:59 on 2/20/09 and 7:20 on 2/20/09. i am still trying to figure out why there would be a time stamp difference and why they would rearchive files again only 20 minutes later.
