You can install only a 2.6 kernel, because debian-amd64 does not support
2.4 kernels at all. The system won't even boot with a 2.4 kernel.

AMD64 support is limited in 2.4 kernels, thus there are no kernel-images
provided. Additionally, the amd64 libc6 needs a kernel supporting NPTL 
and TLS, both not available in vanilla 2.4 kernels.


Kind regards
