You only need Clockwork Recovery Mod to be able to mount in Recovery mode, it doesn't matter what kernel you're running, it's baked into CWM.
[KERNEL][AOSP]Tiamat Xoom 2.0.0 "Katana" [Update: 07/14]

OK, what version of recovery are you using?
Please try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 as this is the latest version of recovery that we are supporting.
Also with cwm our sdcard is the external sdcard, not the internal storage. So when you mount usb storage in recovery it will give you the external sdcard.
If you're being prompted to format a 3mb partition DON'T. This is likely not you're external sdcard and intact a partition on the internal xoom drive and could potentially brick you're device.

Hello!
I just rooted my MZ601 (European 3G along this manual) and after that installed the actual recovery and then the 1.4.1 Tiamat kernel - all worked fine and with no problems so far.
But the external sdcard does not show up (not in /sdcard as sdcard2 or any other name nor in /mnt/ ) - in recovery mode the same card works, but not with android up and running.
Used root explorer to look for it.
Any hints for me?

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if you go back through the last dozen pages or so, several have stated you have to go from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1 in order to keep the sdcard active (in android, not cwm).
I know it probably sounds crazy, but many peole with a similar problem formatted their sd card using SD Card Formatter. It's a marvelous little tool and solves problems that even a Windows format doesn't fix.
I went straight from 1.3.2 to 1.4.1 and my sd card still showed up @ sdcard/sdcard2
Formatting the SD card in your Android phone has solved this problem for many users.

People should let the guy breath! He knows what needs to be done I'm sure he has other things going on in his life. I'm grateful for what he's done this Guy is a great developer to say the least.

they came out with the clockwork 3.1 update let him do his thing pretty sure he will be out within a week or 2 with the updated kernel. Enjoy the new features with 3.1
Asking anything that can possibly be construed as asking for an eta is a major faux pas to all the forun dwellers, and many of them expect you to know the exact unwritten etiquette guide no matter what. When you asked said question, they like to jump on your back(like in this case) to show how much they love the dev and how much better they are at following the rules. Instead of ignoring the question or giving a polite answer, they would rather show off by online chest puffing. Anyway, I don't know how long it takes to make a kernel, but BigRushDog seems to be on top of things. I don't expect to be waiting long! I can't wait either!
P.S. Asking for eta's became a punishable offense by cyanogen, who absoletely hates when people ask. This is fine and he's made his stance known. However, now people just assume you should be stoned to death if you ask any dev, even if they are more than happy to field the question. Just some Android history.

And that's part of the problem this antiquated feeling that no one can ask a question, c'mon now they need to grow up and realize that the question is going to be asked and should feel flattered that this many people are waiting on them. I am sure in time it will be released.
No. You don't understand how irritating it is for people to ask for ETAs. As a developer myself for the OG Droid and the Incredible, it's was a daunting task filtering through all of the ETA posts and constant nagging from people for us to release updates or if something broke. It's *extremely* annoying.
That being said, everyone can be assured that this is brd's #1 priority and he will get the update out as soon as he can, until then, let him work and it will be ready when it's ready.
I am rooted and unlocked with a WIFI only currently running tiamat 1.4.1. I can not get GPS to lock at all. I was told by another forum member that they could not get thier GPS working correctly either on 1.4.1. Can someone please confirm or deny that GPS functions with 1.4.1? I can hold my EVO beside my xoom and it locks GPS right away so I know I am within SAT view. Yes, all GPS radio buttons are checked in settings. Thanks for the help.

Be sure to flash your boot image first! Then flash your kernel. You can flash the boot image and kernel back-to-back in the same recovery session. Don't worry. If you mess up and flash just these boot images, your device will still boot.
10Guys, I'm gonna be honest for a second here. I have made the instructions as simple as possible. They can be made no simpler. You are flashing a boot image because RAMDISK IS STILL BEING DEVELOPED! All you have to do is follow the instructions. I spend alot of time not only on development, but developing the simplest method of implementation possible. In a few days when I drop a new Mass Storage kernel, you will most likely have to flash ANOTHER BOOT IMAGE. You can blame GoogMotoCorp for not doing the MicroSD card right. Just follow the instructions guys. Ughhh 7
It's all good. No worries. Not like I did enough this week or anything lol. I am going to release Tiamat 1.4.2 today. Quite frankly, it's wicked. BTW, don't be fooled by ext4 filesys hacks to trick a high quadrant score. You guys remember my "hyperspeed" kernel? It was the same thing. I can get a 9000 quadrant score doing that. Put it has no real impact on device performance. Anyways, we got a killer kernel on the way. - As an Android Enthusiast, you are responsible for having a basic understanding of commonly used tools.
