Be warned that in most cases, 2.2.19 is more stable than the 2.4 series on
powerpc. Unless you are doing development or depend on sepecific features
or hardware supported only in 2.4, the 2.2 series is recommended.

If you do use 2.4, be aware that the official releases from Linus at
kernel.org probably won't work unmodified. Currently you will have to get
source from one of the powerpc development trees.

There is also a 2.4 kernel image package in unstable, which has powerpc
patches applied.
