I don't think you can use Eigerstein modules with the Dachstein
kernel. You could keep the old kernel, but I would think you would prefer
to use the most updated 2.2 kernel available.
If you extract each of your packages on a full distro, you can use diff to
generate a "patch" file to see all the differences between a standard
Eigerstein package and your changed version. Then you can read the patch
file as a guide to remind you what changes to make to Dachstein to bring
it in line. The actual textual changes that have to be made to DS will
probably vary from those used in ES, so I don't think can use "patch" to
automate the changes, but the patchfile will thoroughly summarize your
existing modifications.
For example:
cd /tmp
mkdir original changed
cd original
tar xzvf /wherever/your/original/is/etc.lrp
cd ../changed
tar xzvf /wherever/your/changed/is/etc.lrp
cd ..
diff -ur original changed >changes.patch
less changes.patch
