2) Does anybody have a DXG boot message that I can guess what is included in the 2.5.8 kernel?

The PDF enhancements (contrast adjustment, zoom) in 3.4 firmware does not need kernel support. MOBI8 support is the only one I found that needs kernel support.
1 - So don't flash the kernel until you know it works.
I.E: Load it into memory with u-boot and execute it from there.

2a - See if you have a /proc/.config.gz file on your DXG while it is running. That is the config file that was used to build it.

2b - Use the kernel's attached symbol table of exported symbols, find in the kernel source tree what features export each symbol, enable those features.

3 - Your way - guess from the boot messages - lots of luck with that.
