Generally, user-level code doesn't care much about the kernel version, and CE 
itself is all user-level code.  Since CE encapsulates other packages that do 
contain kernel modules (which do care about kernel version), such as CMEM in 
LinuxUtils and DSPLink, the problem probably is with those.

The kernel modules call APIs that can come or go with particular Linux kernels, 
hence the dependency of kernel modules on the kernel.  Typically you will need 
to rebuild the kernel modules for the particular kernel that you're running.  
Rebuilding is also important with respect to simply inserting the kernel 
modules (usually done with a "loadmodules.sh" script) - you can't insert a 
kernel module that's been built against a kernel other than the one you're 
running (although there is some flexibility if the kernels in question are 
"close enough" to each other).

It would help if you described your problem opening the mpeg4enc video encode 
algorithm.  CE 2.00.01 is fairly old at this point, much older than 2.6.26 
Linux.  I would suggest updating to a newer CE, which also might just fix your 
problem.
