Thanks for the report.  We have 2.4.24 kernel images in the archive for
d-i, but I hadn't yet switched to using them for the daily builds.  This
is done now, and tomorrow's ISOs should be 2.4.24-based.  Would you be
willing to give them a try?

Have you filed a bug on the kernel-image packages about the tulip/de4x5
issue, by chance?

Thanks,
