I experienced the same problem repeatedly on every box I tried to
install the 2.4 kernel-image debs. Other people I talked to didn't have
the same problem. It's because the new kernels are initrd.
Rather than read up on mkinitrd, I think it's easier to just download
the kernel source and compile your own kernel. But that's just me.
