PSXLinux-kernel-2.4.x-beta1.tar.gz seems to be the latest version. Use PSXLinux-cross-tools-i586.tar.gz to build (and no I don't know how to build it). Not sure how it works. Some more files (all dead links) can be found here
Enjoy. I came across the topic years ago and never found anything on it. So I spent some time messing with web.archive.org. Once I got a file name I googled it and found the FTP that the site was using (this is the FTP that runix.ru used to link to). Someone better figure this out.
I looked in the beta archive and found the readme:
Code: Select all

INSTALLATION:
-------------
I. Prerequistes.
To compile PSXLinux kernel you will need:
1. Cross-compiler (egcc-1.1.2) and binutils-2.9.5 for Linux/i386 host
and MIPS little endian target. Binaries may be downloaded from
http://www.runix.ru or http://oss.sgi.com/mips.
2. PSXLinux kernel source tree. Download free the latest version from
http://www.runix.ru.
II. PSXLinux kernel source tree installation and compilation.
1. Create directory where kernel sources will be installed an put
kernel archive in it.
2. Unpack kernel archive.
gzip -cd <name>.tar.gz | tar xvf -
3. Delete stale object files and dependencies.
make mrproper
4. Configure kernel.
make config -- bash based configuration tool
or
make menuconfig -- text based color configuration tool with
menus, radiolists & dialogs
or
make xconfig -- X windows based configuration tool
You may load one of prepared configurations from file Config (simple configuration
without Runix hardware add-on support) or Config_Addon (configuration with Runix
hardware add-on support).
6. Compile kernel. You will get compiled kernel 'linux' in
the directory where kernel sources was installed (current directory).
make
7. Run compiled kernel on your game console.
Visit www.runix.ru for tools an instructions.
8. Now you may mount root file system from memory card. The memory card root image,
tools and instructions may be found on www.runix.ru.
