What board? ARM Linux is already ported to quite some SA11x0 boards.

You have to set the correct path. If you're using bash:
export PATH="/data/lart/cross/bin:$PATH"
For tcsh:
set path = ( /data/lart/cross/bin $path )

You can't just download a kernel to your board. ARM Linux needs the
architecture number in r0 and r1. Without the proper values, the kernel
just stalls after decompression. You have to compile a kernel for your
board.
