Hi Joshua,
The working, bootable 2.6 kernel is already provided in the tarball.
I would suggest that you have made an error somewhere.
When you say "watching the ramdisk rescue kernel fail to boot" are
you referring to the first boot (when booting to extract the image),
or the subsequent boots (when booting TO the extracted image).
If it is the former, then I suggest you re-read the instructions, start
again ... and if it fails try to give a lot more detail before
attempting to "bump" a post in the list.
If the latter, then I would suggest that something has gone wrong with
your image extraction. Some possibilities include:
card too small, card improperly formatted, card r/w errors, etc
In this case you ALSO need to provide more information, however the job
*can* be slightly easier. Please refer to the Problems section on the
RamdiskRescue wiki.

taking particular note of the RR-syslog.gz comment.
Regards,
Marcus.
