The default compilation output of that toolchain is 32bit. I've solved that with a simple script; it also lies to dpkg about the architecture. Get this script: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/debian/amd64/scripts/gcc.bart and put it in /usr/bin/gcc.bart, then cd /usr/bin rm -f gcc g++ ln -s gcc.bart gcc ln -s gcc.bart g++ Your kernel should install now. You can also get the kernel from: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/debian/amd64/packages/kernel-patch-2.4.21-amd64/ Note that if you want to build 20030707.1 you will need kerne-source 2.4.21 which is available only in sid/unstable, iirc.
