A good suggestion. However if kernel-image-2.4.9 is still an
installable target for hppa, the corresponding kernel-source-2.4.9
should be as well.
Gianpiero, try this command to look for available source packages:
apt-cache search kernel-source
This will show you the packages that provide the 'kernel-source' virtual
package; I can see kernel-source-2.4.17-hppa and kernel-source-2.4.18-hppa
there now, but you might be able to find 2.4.9 somewhere.
If you are interested in better support for your hardware, and a more
featureful kernel, installing 2.4.17 or 2.4.18 would be recommended. You
can keep 2.4.9 around to fall back on in case you run into problems.
