Cross-compiling 2.6.26-1-ixp4xx

["Marco Schuster" <marco@harddisk.is-a-geek.org>]

Hi all,

I have quite some problems recompiling the kernel 2.6.26-1 for my NSLU2.
What I did:
1) apt-get source linux-2.6.26-1
2) apply some simple patch to USB host code
3) cp /boot/config-2.6.26-1-ixp4xx .config (in kernel source root)
4) make-kpkg --initrd linux-kernel
5) install the package

Then I rebooted the NSLU2, and it was bricked. Of course, recovering
is really easy, but what did I do wrong?
And how can I use cross-compiling so that kernel compiling does not
take three days on the sloooow IXP4xx?

Thanks,
Marco
