You need:
- CVS
- a arm crosscompiler, able to build the current kernel
- a linux box with kernel 2.4.x

What todo:
- get my initrd (from linux.blacknet.de/iaq)
- get the kernel sources for kernel-2.4.18-rmk2_hh21 from CVS (or what
  ever the latest version for v0.6.1 might be)
- get the proper conifg file for this kernel
- fix it to include ext2fs in the kernel
- build the kernel and modules
- unpack and mount my inird
- check out /lib/modules for the modules requied, copy this from the
  kernel you just build (make correct subdirectory)
- remove old modules
- unmount and pack initrd (you might want to copy it first to a fresh
  image to save some space, if you don't know how to do this, don't
  bother)
- copy the zimage you builded to your CF card
- do the same with the initrd
- get a linux.img for v0.6.1 (or make one)
- cross your fingers and boot

Success??
