For the 2.6 kernel, I just found a working one, that 2.6.36. From 2.6.7 on,
even the compiling cant passed, an unresolved function call to a LED
backlight related function. But 2.6.36 work, passed compiling,
uncompressing, load and run.

By far, I probably met the same kind of error with you for the 3.x kernel.
Uncompressing done, then halt. I really hope someone told me there is a
working 3.2+ kernel since newer kernels usually have better driver surpport.
