I didn't know there was a Github repo for that.

You can fix this (in a hacky way) like so:

code snipped

I already patched the Makefile with this patch. That was what got the modules built I believe.

I managed to get menuconfig with the above patch, so I used that instead of hand editing.

dmesg says:

which according the web searches means I need to build the kernel outright, then I can build modules.

linux-2.6.26/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open '../../initramfs/skeleton-luigi.list'

stops the kernel from compiling though.
