Need some help re-compiling version 2.4.18-6mdk of mandrake linux.  I installed this version from a cdrom onto my laptop.  The problem I am encountering is that this version enables automatic power management by default.  On my laptop SIS630 this causes my laptop to power down every few secounds.
 
I am familiar with using make -e on tar files and changing the parameters that I need to change, but since I installed this from a cdrom I do not find any tar file in the /usr/src directory, or anywhere else that I can think to look.  The only kernel that I can identify is in the /boot directory, and it is listed as vmlinuz-2.4.18-6mdk.  I am not sure how to re-compile this to enable me to turn off the automatic power management option.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks
 
Mike Pruden
