[Wizard] New kernel

Just worth pointing out that whilst I get 49 bogomips calculated with
the bf24 (2.4.18) kernel, and 459 bogomips with a stock 2.6.0-test4
kernel, the bf24 kernel reports almost half as much cpu usage for
running the same compiles of ogg123 and mpg123, and whilst this cpu
usage is not necessarily accurate, the speed of other concurrent tasks
suggests it is pretty well true. The mistaken bogomips seems to have
little, if anything to do with the actual performance.
The only thing I did find that made a massive difference performance
wise was setting the ram divisor from 4 to 3 in the bios, cas2 makes
less of a difference but seems stable enough on the system I'm using atm
(lasted the kernel compile, etc.)
I'm recompiling 2.6 with 486 optimisations to see if that fixes the
performance problems, though obviously this is not particularly useful.
