I don't think that any of the OZ kernels above 2.4.6 are ready to be
used, though they are in development and source for them can be
downloaded (that said the development is going very slowly due to a lack
of participants AFAICT).

I doubt that you'd be able to use the standard Sharp 3.1x ROM kernel
(2.4.18) without making major changes to the initrd.bin image.
