Yes, I am very interested in exactly how you did this. I was on the right track, because I also figured out that it had to have the kernel.2x00 name, and I tried that only I didn't know that it had to be an uncompressed kernel (it actually started to load, then said something about wrong file type). I am not sure whether that kernel exists in DSL.
anyway if you could shed a little more light I would be greatfull as I have been working on this for quite some time now. I have the 22ooL version that booted Turbo linux, 8363 TUS.

I wonder if a solution is a simple as unzipping the existing kernel file in DSL?

I don't know a lot about kernel compression formats, but maybe you can do a

gunzip linux24

and get an uncompressed kernel.

Actually, the kernel image is bz2'd i think.
