Doh!... I've grown so used to distro's putting it in /boot, I forgot to look 
in the right place. 

As for the GPL violation  My understanding is that for the portions gained by 
Nokia as GPL and those modes made to said code, yes it is.  The first step is 
as some here have done.  Request delivery under the GPL.  

Further steps can include making Nokia aware of the available legal assistance 
from lawyers who are experts in the field of OSS and understand both the OSS 
side of things and Nokia's inherent rights when it come to protecting their 
intellectual property.  Since legal expertise in Open Business as applied to 
Software is not as widely available having a group to count on for accurate 
and objective assistance helps.  

Nokia on the other hand can rest assured that the Linux community doesn't want 
to harm Nokia, but the faster Nokia feeds the community code the more it will 
help Nokia.
