So to give an update, the kernel DOES compile, but when booted on the wii, it goes to that funky green screen and then does nothing. Im still trying to look for any logs of the kernel loading, but have yet to find any. To compile the kernel, I make my own powerpc toolchain from crosstool-ng instead of the no longer supported Crosstool as it says in the wiki. Ill post a tutorial on how later,by DeepHorizons - Wii Linux
Hey nouboh Did you end up compiling with a newer version? I wanted to learn about cross compiling, the linux kernel, and whatnot, and decided that trying to get a newer kernel on the Wii would be a good goal. But if you were successful, then there is really no need. I'm trying to compile against the 3.7.4 kernel. I thought that all the patches were pushed ( as per http://www.gc-linux.oby DeepHorizons - Wii Linux
