2.6.12 is a very old kernel and probably wont even build with the latest
toolchains, as now the tool chains will error on things that it use to
let by back then.
You'll probably want to try and find a version of a distro from 2005 and
install that on a machine. Then you could build the 2.6.12 kernel on
that distro. You may need to also find a machine from 2005 as well.
Good luck,
