Any possibility to add the libata patch
<ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/>?
Or do you think that's to risky or not enough space left? What's the
timescale to switch to Kernel 2.6?

Or is there some way I could do that myself, does the "Knoppix Custom
Kernel Howto"
<http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixCustomKernelHowto>
procedure in combination with the "Knoppix Remastering Howto"
<http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixRemasteringHowto>
also work for _Gnoppix_? That would also solve the problem below.
