yes, i have already compiled my own kernel some years ago when I was using gentoo. but thats quite some time ago...
at the moment I'm not sure how to set up the "powersave" kernel because I never modified the Kernel on my pi. (I'll look into that later this week - surely I'll find a dokumentation how to do that)

@ditschi

if you follow https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/wiki/Building-XBian-packages , clone then xbian-package-kernel and there is rpi-powersave variant predefined. just run building.

for compiling kernel you can also skip the longest initial part (creating buildroot - armhfwheezy). just install crosscompiler - like gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf if you have ubuntu. if debian add

Code:

deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ stable main

and install "gcc-4.X-arm-linux-gnueabi" (you have to check what version is available to you)

to put a test delay
edit

Code:

/etc/init/network-interface.override

and you will still see commented "[ "$(xbian-arch)" != iMX6 ] || { ip link set $INTERFACE up; sleep 0; }" from cubox
so uncomment, change iMX6 to RPI and change sleep 0 to sleep 40 to delay 40s
