So your questions should be referencing a particular version of a particular OS. Not really a Linux question. What OS are you trying to bring back from the dead?

GNU/Linux with the 6.12.41 kernel.

My question was really to Carey. He's the one asking about extended partitions. To be clear, the kernel version doesn't tell you everything -- the distro and version says more. It's the distro that normally configures kernel and boot loader options.
