I have a kernel module that I am trying to add to a custom version of DSL. Unfortunately, it wants a non-SMP kernel. It would appear that the 2.4.26 on DSL was compiled with SMP.

I have tried to rebuild a 2.4.26 kernel but obviously have something wrong.

Can I get the std .conf file used to build the DSL kernel from somewhere ?

I think that it may be more appropriate to re-phrase my question.

I need to be able to recompile the DSL kernel so that a module that I need to include on a custom CD will work. It states clearly that it does not support SMP kernels.

Just out of interest, I compiled the module against a non-smp 2.4.26 source tree and although the module instals into the running DSL kernel without any errors, the userland utility keeps telling me the module is not installed :-(

So, how does one go about recompling the DSL kernel and installing it into a custom CD ?

You can get the kernel config file (I think) and the knoppix patches in the kernelsource.dsl.

To get the full source, you will need to apply the knoppix patches to the vanilla 2.4.26 kernel from kernel.org.
