1st of all, pls don't top post.
2nd, if you want to use kernel that comes with stable, install package
kernel-source-2.4.18 and recompile it with highmem enabled. I wouln't
recommend package from kernel.org as Debian kernel include some patches
and security back-ports. Otherwise you have to stay on latest kernel (if
you don't want local kernel exploits) and recompile everytime new kernel
gets out.
