Other Help Topics :: Kernel recompile Howto

I've been playing around with DSL for a while, but got stuck at building a new kernel for it. I'm using the manual copying method for remastering the CD. What i did:

- Got kernel-source-2.4.30 from http://www.kernel.org
- configured with a standard knoppix config file
- patched source with knoppix-kernel.patch
- compiled bzImage + modules + cloop.o
- replaced the cloop.o from minirt24.gz, also updated the modules in scsi-dir
- replaced the linux24

*Works*

Where are the Knoppix patches?

One place you can get the knoppix config/patches is from /usr/src on Knoppix cd. It seems a bit silly downloading a whole CD just to get the patch, but I'm not sure where else to get it

where is the cloop.o ??
is it mandatory ?

I would REALLY REALLY like to see a detailed walk-through on this whole area, ESPECIALLY how to patch kernel modules in dsl.

There's at least one (and probably others) in sore need of updating (loop-aes).

Or is it already in the forums somewhere and I can't find it?

Could someone point me at any likely sources of help?
