http://www.einval.com/debian/kernel-2.6.18-sam.tar.gz
has all the bits you'll need. The kernel is as standard, except the
patch (as in #419482) and the slightly changed config (included). It's
running fine on 3 cats-based buildds now, so I expect it should work
for you. Shout if you have any problems, of course.
