What kind of background do you have? Are you just trying to build and run the kernel for now?

The instructions on the wiki are pretty thorough, at least for building on Linux. For the "Creating the device tree img3" step, you can just use the file xmdt.img3 from the GenericBooter-old repository instead of creating a new DeviceTree.img3 file. Just be sure to change the name to DeviceTree.img3 and place all the img3 files into the GenericBooter/images folder before compiling. I hope to get some debugging information on the wiki soon.
