I had several early kernels from the 1.x range that ran on an XT.
I also had an early 2.x kernel that would run on a 286. I was running a full NAT gateway with SMTP, NNTP and various other mail type services on such a system back when Linux was still an "educational development" OS.
Linux kernels? The Linux kernel (right back to 0.1) is totally incapable of running on anything less than a 386. Perhaps you're thinking of Minix?
