 kernel for versatile architecture is available from
-Debian archive: http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-latest-2.6/
+Debian archive: http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-latest-2.6/
 for example, linux-image-2.6.26-1-versatile_2.6.26-12_armel.deb
 This kernel requires initrd, and ext3 and ethernet driver module is not built-in.
 
-Currently you cannot use this kernel.
+Currently you cannot use this kernel. But yosh at d.o came to rescue with a self-prepared kernel he is offering to all on
+http://yoush.homelinux.org:8079/tech/setting-up-armel-qemubuilder
+accompanied with a nice description of how to set it up and about what exactly he had done.

 For etch, there was qemu architecture, for lenny it's malta.
 
 Get the kernel and initrd from 
-http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-latest-2.6/
+http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-latest-2.6/
 for malta architecture, is this too modularized too?

-For etch, there was qemu architecture, for lenny it's malta.
+For ''etch'', there was qemu architecture, for ''lenny'' and higher it's '''malta'''. "initrd" is not needed for "mipsel".
+
+=== Sample config file "qemubuilderrc-mipsel" ===
+{{{
+ARCHITECTURE=mipsel
+KERNEL_IMAGE=/var/cache/pbuilder/vmlinux-3.10-2-4kc-malta
+BASEPATH=/var/cache/pbuilder/mipsel-unstable.raw
+MIRRORSITE=http://deb.debian.org/debian

+#BUILDPLACE=/var/cache/pbuilder/build
+#DEBBUILDOPTS=" -B"
+AUTO_DEBSIGN=yes
+BUILDRESULT=.
+PKGNAME_LOGFILE=yes
+}}}
+
+=== Getting kernel image file ===
+
+ 1. Open http://packages.debian.org/sid/linux-image-4kc-malta
+ 2. click on "dep: linux-image-3.10-2-4kc-malta".
+ 3. click "mipsel" link in download section.
+ 4. choose mirror to download from.
+
+Effectively package with kernel image can be downloaded with following sample command:
+{{{
+wget 'http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.10-2-4kc-malta_3.10.7-1_mipsel.deb'
+}}}
+
+Using `mc` copy `boot/vmlinux-3.10-2-4kc-malta` to KERNEL_IMAGE location.
+Alternatively vmlinux file can be extracted using the following commands
+{{{
+dpkg -X linux-image-3.10-2-4kc-malta_3.10.7-1_mipsel.deb .
+}}}
+or 
+{{{
+ar -vx linux-image-3.10-2-4kc-malta_3.10.7-1_mipsel.deb
+tar -xf data.tar.xz --wildcards --no-anchored 'boot/vmlinu*'
+}}}
+
+Create image file using
+{{{
+sudo qemubuilder --config /var/cache/pbuilder/qemubuilderrc-mipsel --create
+}}}
+
+If `qemubuilder` mounts ''rootfs'' as read-only then use workaround from
+[[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=698451#10|#698451]].
