Mayby so, but first you have to get it to build. It has some Makefiles in it that are IMO, broken, they are using a uname return to find out what version of the includes to use. Sucks dead toads thru soda straws to me. Kind of hard to build a 2.6 kernel when its trying to use the 2.4.22-pre8 includes.
