To build a kernel for the Micromint Electrum you need to have a working ARM toolchain. Remember to use the 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 source archive 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 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.
