The kernel includes that are present on both, the 5.0.1 DVD and CD,
match the kernel that's installed and running on Knoppix. Could it be
that you used a different compiler than the one on Knoppix, for
compiling? That's about the only reason I could think of that could
cause this error message.
On the DVD, the full kernel source is included in /usr/src/, on the CD
there are only the headers.
