How to use 2.4 kernel on EMT64 machine



Hi all,

I've got a Dell PowerEdge SC430 server with Celeron D CPU(EMT64) and
Intel ICH7 SATA interface.  I have installed sarge on this machine using
a customed install CD, which has kernel 2.6.12-1-amd64-generic.  It
works fine.  For some reasons, I need to use 2.4 kernel.  So I download
official 2.4.32 kernel and patch it by
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/2.4.32-libata1.patch.bz2
in order to get ICH7 support.  I didn't find any problem on compiling.
But the machine stop booting on the startup message, "Booting the
kernel.".  Does anyone successfully run 2.4 kernel with ICH7 support on
EMT64 machine?

Thanks,
Terry
