Well, your best bet would be to compile your own kernel. Many times. Or,
at least until you get it the way you want it ;) The knowledge gained
will be useful whenever you're having a problem of this nature.
Explaining how to compile your own kernel is beyond the scope of this
email, but many guides and tutorials exists, like the one I mentioned in
my previous email.
However, I'm sure there are pre-packaged kernels somewhere, if you want
to go that route :) Dunno where, though.
