New experimental patches have been released on free60.org for one of the latest linux kernel (2.6.24.3). This will allow the people running Linux on their Xbox 360 to upgrade to a newer kernel:

Get the source for the Linux 2.6.24.3 Kernel from kernel.org (http://www.kernel.org/) and unpack it somewhere in your home directory.
cd
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...6.24.3.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf linux-2.6.24.3.tar.bz2

2. Download and apply the experimental Xenon patchset.
cd linux-2.6.24.3/
wget http://home.comcast.net/~ssmurf/linu...4.3-xenon.diff
patch -p1 < linux-2.6.24.3-xenon.diff
done

3. Configure the Kernel.
make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu- menuconfig

4. Build the Kernel by typing:
make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu- all

Or if you have ppu-gcc properly set-up: CROSS_COMPILE=ppu-

If everything goes well, you will end up with a file arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.xenon containing the kernel which can be loaded by the XeLL.

Remember, these patches are Experimental!

I wish it was easier to put linux on a 360, I'd have one running linux right now if it was.
Nice work guys.
