Precompiled capability-patched kernels:

For i386:
- vmlinuz-2.4.9-31.1.cern
- System.map-2.4.9-31.1.cern
For i586:
- vmlinuz-2.4.9-31.1.cern
- System.map-2.4.9-31.1.cern
For i686:
- vmlinuz-2.4.9-31.1.cern

Notes:

The kernel and modules architecture must match. If, for instance, you will use a i386 kernel with i586 modules probably the system shall not even boot...
