== Configuring and Compiling the 2.6.24.3 Kernel (experimental) ==

<ol start="1"><li>  Get the source for the Linux 2.6.24.3 Kernel from kernel.org and unpack it.</ol> 
<code>
    wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.24.3.tar.bz2
    tar -xvjf linux-2.6.24.3.tar.bz2
</code>

<ol start="2"><li>  Download and apply the experimental Xenon patch. </ol> 
<code>
    wget http://home.comcast.net/~ssmurf/linux-2.6.24.3-xenon.diff
    cd linux-2.6.24.3/
    patch -p1 < ../linux-2.6.24.3-xenon.diff
</code>

<ol start="3"><li> Configure the Kernel. </ol>
<code>
     make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu- menuconfig
</code>

<ol start="4"><li> Build the Kernel by typing: </ol>
<code>
    make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu- all
</code>    

If everything goes well, you will end up with a file arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.xenon containing the kernel which can be loaded by the XeLL. 

Remember, these patches are Experimental!
