This is probably not a great idea, since 2.4 kernel support has been dropped
[0]
from Debian. This means userspace tools with 2.4 support will not be
supported
anymore, as well as security updates. It might be worthwhile to try to get
a
2.6 kernel running on your hardware. If you MUST have 2.4, you're probably
better
off sticking with Sarge.
