Samsung Galaxy S in boot loop after following cyanogen mod's full update guide
Edit
Honestly, I am not 100% sure that this was really a problem related to the kernel. I think that the &quot;problem&quot; could be also caused by the fact that pressing the home key in recovery mode results in a reboot. The correct way to select a recovery item is to press the power button.

I had the same issue two days ago. The problem was the kernel. After switching to the kernel that was mentioned a few wiki changes before it worked like a charm.

I even (re-)added this information but it was again reverted. :-(
