In case it helps anyone following this path, here is what I did:
1) install the kernel-image-2.4.18-bf24 package (just for its config file, so
no need if you installed Woody with the bf24 option)
2) install the kernel-source and pcmcia-source packages. These should end up
in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.21 and /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs
3) ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.21 /usr/src/kernel
3) cp /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 to /usr/src/kernel/.config
4) cd /usr/src/kernel
5) make menuconfig (I had to install libncurses-dev to get this to work) This
takes the .config as a starting point. Amazingly you need to find General ->
PCMCIA support and make sure PCMCIA support is NOT selected (not even as a
module). Make any other changes required for your hardware (or none for now
to see if it works!)
6) make-kpkg --revision=mykernel.0.1 kernel_image modules_image (This needs
kernel-package installed) This takes 4 hours on my 166MHz machine and
produces two .deb files in /usr/src, one for the kernel and the other for the
modules.
7) Install these two packages using dpkg -i /usr/src/*.deb
8) Add an option to /etc/lilo.conf to load the /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21 image and
run lilo
9) Reboot and select the new kernel
