Cool, now you must convince Herbert to apply these to the official
debian kernels, and everyone should be happy.
I guess the best way would be to open a bug report against
kernel-source-2.4.24 or something such, with tag d-i and patch, explain
your problem, and either provide the link to the patch or the patch
directly as attachement, and CC the bugreport to debian-boot.

Yeah, but actually it has nothing to do with debian-installer, just a
plain 'debian official kernel doesn't support my hardware' kind of bug.
