I have had 2.6.29+ (unpatched) booting from NAND for a while, but with
an initrd.  As mentioned in IRC, I have recently gotten it booting
without an initrd using kernels I built myself:

http://www.zen178545.zen.co.uk/soas-kernel

...from this config:

http://www.martindengler.com/proj/soas/config-i586.2.6.29-0.267.rc8.git4.mtdsoasdevxo.fc10.i586

(things say F10 beacuse I built it on a F10 machine, but it's a
rawhide kernel as you can see)

There's a comment on the olpc-2.6 repo about disabling LZO because OFW
can't boot from a JFFS2 fs with that compression.
