The kernel for 13.1 hasn't changed since it was released as 2.6.33.5.

Slackware ARM uses which ever the most recent kernel is that works best
for the ARM platforms supported -- it doesn't follow Slackware x86 at all:
if they happen to be using the same version at the same time, it's purely
coincidental.

Well it works now so it's ok :-)

Perhaps your dockstar is a slightly different version which is
better catered for in the 2.6.38 kernel.
