It won't be straight forward, u need to re-write a bit.<br>U can

Celestial) does not provide a new kernel to do this. They just
compiled 2.6.12.5 for about 5-6 years ago, and they didn't do
a new kernel from that time.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial">So, I need your helps:</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">1) Celestial has done a lot of
