2.4 kernel is very unsuitable for amd64 (unless you want to just run it
as i386). 2.6 is the kernel that has amd64 support so that is what to
use.
I am not sure what the state of the compile of sarge packages for amd64
is. So for it seems most of the work has gone into just making sure
packages from sid are working, given amd64 isn't likely to ship with
sarge anyhow.
