It's not clear to me what you are speaking about. What failed?

If you have a rather recent Linux 2.6 version running on your system,
just use it. The distro does not really matter. Then download a recent
kernel version from kernel.org and try to get it compiled and running on
your box. Use the .config file from the kernel comming with the
distribution. Don't forget to disable power management. Then wait until
an up-to-date iPIPE patch get's available.
