You have to pretty much start with a vanilla kernel for which there is 
already a patch; otherwise, you will have to patch the kernel that you 
have by yourself.  I suggest to read a few tutorials on how to install 
Linux and try booting 2.6.24.7.  The tricky part is to get ensure that 
the kernel .config file includes all the drivers that are pertinent to 
your machine.
