So much stuff has been fixed in 2.4.20 since the woody release.
If you have to mess around with kernel builds, please don't
start with anything older than 2.4.20 sources available with
the kernel-image-2.4.20-32 hppa package.
(or -smp or -64 or -64-smp.)
AFAIK, 2.4.21 kernels are currently only available from cvs.p-l.org as
noted below and those seem to work fine (for me, apache/proftp).

it's possible to toolchain has changed since those were built.

available. kudos to joel soete for helping make that happen.

no one has asked the package maintainer to enable more modules.
Check the 2.4.20 config files and send patches to the maintainer...
