Since you have the meta-package kernel-image-2.4-586tsc installed, you should be fine with just upgrading to the new version. If you are using custom modules, you have to rebuild them as well, though. The latter is the main reason for the new package name. You will experience a new "uname -r" after the upgrade, therefore any local module binaries will not interfere with the new kernel. hth, Philipp
