I assume you want to use the simulator, don't you?  If so, just copy  
the linux kernel image (with the name vmlinux) to the same directory  
where you have your simulator tcl script and start it.  The startup  
script will find a vmlinux in the current directory and use it.

Oh, and you should update to Cell SDK 3.

If you have the ppu-gcc cross compiler in your path, set these  
variables in the environment:

ARCH=powerpc
CROSS_COMPILE=ppu-

And then configure and build linux as usual.
