iPaq H5550 kernel type


Hi,

I'm trying to set up an embedded system for a device like a iPaq Pocket PC H5550. I'm using multistrap to create a armel filesystem. I would like to know what kind of kernel to download. Below are what I imagine to be my options.

Code:
  linux-image-2.6.26-2-versatile 2.6.26-27
  linux-image-2.6.26-2-orion5x 2.6.26-27
  linux-image-2.6.26-2-ixp4xx 2.6.26-27
  linux-image-2.6.26-2-iop32x 2.6.26-27
My question is, which one do I choose? I have a linux distro called 'familiar' on there (which I intend to replace) and the present kernel, a zImage, is labled as 'zImage-2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh41.1' This means nothing to me, maybe someone can point out for me what I should be taking from the name. Thanks.

Why don't you compile the kernel yourself based on the hardware that you have?

I wanted to try a pre-compiled image first. I do think I will have to compile my own at some time, but it takes a lot of time and I thought I'd be able to get started faster this way. Do none of the selections seem to fit an iPaq H5550??

The iPAQ H5550 uses an Intel PXA255 CPU, als9o known as XScale, so I would try number 35.
