Since there are many known security flaws in -9, you should only do this if
you have a properly configured local firewall and are prepared to treat all
local users as having root access.
Alternately you could use the Debian kernel source and build a kernel
configured to use the old IDE driver for this hardware.
On the third hand, I suspect that replacing this machine with a PC will
quickly pay for itself in power savings.
