Ancient Corel Netwinder and new kernels?



I just picked up an old Corel Netwinder on eBay, and I've discovered
that the netwinder.org ftp site no longer carries the firmware images,
due to DMCA issues.  Fortunately I have an old dm-3.1-15a.tar.gz
tarball lying around that I downloaded back in 2000.

As I recall, the Netwinder had a tiny hard drive, but I've got an old
80 GB laptop hard drive to upgrade it with.

The dm-3.1-15a.tar.gz tarball contains a 2.2 kernel.

Has anyone gotten a more recent kernel to work on a Netwinder?
I'd like to run a 2.6 kernel if possible, and ideally to upgrade the
entire system to CentOS 5.

As I recall, the Netwinder OS was based on a version of Redhat from
before the Fedora/RHEL split.
