Yes, I remember now. Sorry, but I don't have the time to build custom
kernels for more distros, at least not now :-(

You could download the source for this kernel, extract the "capabilities
patch" (very simple) patch, and try to add it to the source rpm of the
Enterprise kernel you are using and rebuild it...

http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/all/linux/SRPMS/kernel-2.4.20-30.1.caps.src.rpm

Sorry to not have better news...
