2.4 has always worked quite well for me. I've got three thinkpads running
2.4.16+. One of the three has PCMCIA problems it didn't have with earlier
2.4.x kernels (but as it doesn't have any use for PCMCIA cards it doesn't
matter).
Of the three machines, until recently none of them had IRDA working well
(recent 2.4.x kernels solved that for the newest machine).
Sound playback is fine, sound recording works but the quality sucks (internal
microphones in Thinkpads aren't much good).
Video works fine for both the kernel frame-buffer (VESA-fb) and X.

That's the way it's supposed to be. But look at all the changes that went
into 2.2.x and 2.4.x!

ACPI is still very much in a development state. I haven't had enough
expectation of it working to even bother compiling it (no offense to the
authors - what they are doing is very ambitious and challenging).
APM works fine for me except that sometimes it doesn't suspend when closing
the lid.
The three Thinkpads are 385xd, 600e, and T20.
