If you start with a generic kernel.org kernel of the same version number you could probably crow bar the module in there. You may need to play with SMP and preempt options etc.. to at least have the correct functions present but that should work. You could probably install debian sarge then change the kernel to your version and have a something that works. -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk
