I've got an S7 for testing on too. Here are partitions and mount.
Code:
# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name

31 1 163840 mtdblock1
31 2 5120 mtdblock2
31 3 384 mtdblock3
31 4 98304 mtdblock4
31 5 179200 mtdblock5
31 6 5120 mtdblock6
179 0 7905280 mmcblk0

Ok, so i figured out why recovery isn't working properly. The framebuffer built into the kernel does not support swapping:
framebuffer: fd 4 (800 x 480)
active fb swap failed: Invalid argument
Build : active fb swap failed: Invalid argument
not setactive fb swap failed: Invalid argument
So. what I'm thinking of now, is just to release the image as it is, question is whether i should choose clockwork or amon ra recovery, as they both have the same issue... any inputs?
The recovery works, for both of them, the only problem with not having framebuffer swap, is that the GUI is a little obscure / screwed.
Initially it will give you "two" recovery screens, that are duplicated. When you move through the menu, two more duplications will appear, and the active selection will switch from the "bottom screen" to the "top screen", and afterwards to the bottom one again as you cycle through the menu.
I guess this could easily be fixed by recompiling the kernel with correct frame buffer support, but I'm not sure whether or not I should delay this any further, as it is functional, and you guys are waiting.
Any input on this would be nice aswell...
Also fixed the problem with having to mount the system partition in order to get adb running in recovery.
I'll be going to sleep now soon, but I'll check back here sometime tomorrow, between the Christmas gift shopping, if anyone has anything to add to this.

Working on getting framebuffer support on the kernel.
Have some issues recompiling the zImage, so the release will be as soon as that is fixed.

remove cypress touchscreen from the config and zImage compiles fine and touchscreen too besides that I had no issues compiling even with doing changes to the kernel.

the kernel compiles fine with cypress, it's not the compiling it self, its supporting the framebuffering, but thanks for the hint

If you guys want the image now with the messed up GUI, let me know, cause there is no reason for me just to sit on it while i try to fix the framebuffer issue, as the recovery works fine.
