yes, the above 'albatros' runs a normal SLES:

I've played around on various Linux boxes I have with newer kernels, it
seems to run fine on a 2.6.14 kernel; that the dfu-util executable is
linked for GNU/Linux 2.6.8 does not say much about what they require
internally; see:
$ strings dfu-util | fgrep kernel
could not detach kernel driver from interface %d: %s
/proc/sys/kernel/osrelease
FATAL: kernel too old
FATAL: cannot determine kernel version
/proc/sys/kernel/ngroups_max
/proc/sys/kernel/rtsig-max
i.e. they check /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease and for sure compare it
against some value; interestingly this check is not in the recent
sources I've pulled out from SVN (this was my first place to look,
before asking that question to the list);
anyway; I'll put a Knoppix 5.1.1 on an USB key to use this as
alternative boot in my laptop (which runs FreeBSD, would be nice to port
later dfu-util to FreeBSD :-))
thx for your feedback anyway;
