Don do it. Use a recent Kernel version instead. The linux-2.6.24 is only
a current snapshot at the moment ELDK was released. Take the kernel from
our git tree:
	git clone git://git.denx.de/linux-2.6-denx

Before you becomes crazy with this old stuff, you have to try directly
with the Kernel on TOT. The kernel 2.6.24 was in a stadium where the ppc
branch was not yet abandoned and the powerpc still in development. You
cannot now "choose" which branch: only the powerpc with fdt is part of
the kernel now.

Best regards,
