I don't have any config.gz file in proc/ (nor any other directory), at the
moment

Or, if your config is not exposed under /proc, then this:

I installed a plain Debian Lenny linux so I don't have headers nor sources
installed.
I choose Lenny because I hoped it included and configured HPET, by default.

As a last resort, if the kernel's config is available under /proc and you

I can't see any  hpet  string within /proc/timer_list file.

HPET showing up as not working means a kernel rebuild.

So my question remains :
how can I be certain HPET is included and enabled without messing with
zaptel and subsequent operations ?
Sure, next step will be to install Asterisk and Zaptel, but at this point of
my installation process, I would like to check HPET without going any
further.
