To build a kernel for the Micromint Electrum you need a compatible [[Debian_ARM_Cross-compile | ARM toolchain]]. Please remember to use the desired board config file and rebuild the kernel modules when you build a new kernel. These commands will build a kernel and its modules using the [[Electrum_Documentation#Boot_and_Operating_System_Files | sources from the wiki]]:

  tar xfj linux-2.6.33.20-1-at91.tar.bz2
 
  cd linux-2.6.33.20-1-at91
  export ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
  make mrproper
  cp arch/arm/configs/electrum100_defconfig .config
  make oldconfig menuconfig
  make uImage modules modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=`pwd`/boot

To use the default board config, don't make any changes on menuconfig and just select exit. After a successful build the resulting kernel and modules should be in arch/arm/boot and boot/lib respectively. Once you are able to build a working kernel with the default config, then implement any config and source code changes required by your project.
