It's not _that_ hard to build a kernel, and when you have funky
hardware requirements like tdfx or i810, the cost/benefit ratio of
kernel 2.4.3 is quite attractive.  I was unable to get agppart.o
working with 2.2.x kernels but with 2.4.3 it was trivial.

Go for it!  Build a kernel ... there's a description of how to build
one the debian way every week or so on this list.  Check the archives,
or install kernel-package and rtfm.

Cheers,
