The directions on this page are for building a kernel for the Palm Pre using a armv7 cross toolchain. There are plenty of instructions on how to get a cross toolchain for the Pre so that will not be discussed here. If you don't already have a cross toolchain or don't know what one is,turn around now.

Get the kernel code:

git clone git://git.webosinternals.org/kernel.git

Get the default config:

cp arch/arm/configs/webos-internals .config

Configure the kernel:

ARCH=arm make menuconfig

Build the kernel:

CROSS_COMPILE="armv7a-softfloat-linux-gnueabi-" make
