Pardon stateing at the obvious: You can't just rename the kernel; you must edit the extra-version part of the Makefile and build. If you have built it ie (it won't hurt to start with make clean) make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install then copy the modules (usually: /lib/modules/2.4.7-10-ltsp-eicas) (or whatever) to /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules There is no reason to take another kernel's modules; it may not work if you do. If you are doing all that work, why 2.4.7 ? > The kernel sources I used: /usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10 This is NOT recommended. Get a fresh source from kernel.org See contrib & howtos for reasons.
