Any gotchas with kernel 2.4.x and Debian?

[Aaron Brashears <gila@gila.org>]

I'd like to try out kernel 2.4.1 from unstable, but I wanted to know
if there's anything I should be wary of. A quick search through the
archives of debain-user revealed there's *something* with modconf, but
I'm not sure what the problem is.

Is there anything I should be aware of before attempting a building
2.4.1 from the deb source?

Also, does alsa work with the new kernel?

I'm running a p3 with a netgear 310tx(tulip) and nvidia tnt2 with
xfree86 4 installed, but I'm pretty sure it's actually using the
XF86_SVGA server found in xfree86 3. I'm currently running the kernel
image 2.2.17 found in potato but I synch with testing.

Thanks.
