I've been hoping someone else would come in on this. I'm really not
convinced that modules are compatible across the 4K / 8K configuration
options, and I'm not convinced that the linuxant kernels haven't been
configured with something like the 4G/4G split off or different
function calling conventions, which would screw up binary compatibility.

Norman, my advice would be to get Linux 2.6.7 from kernel.org, and
compile it yourself. Good luck!

James.
