In 2.4 problems with the ethernet driver were reported and in 2.6 the kernel builds but would need somebody with actual hardware to debug it. An additional problem with 2.6 on Cobalt hardware are the size limits for the booted kernel which would need to be worked around; various solutions such as a two stage bootloader are thinkable.
