Re: Any gotchas with kernel 2.4.x and Debian?
Yes,
If you have SCSI then make sure you compile the kernel with Y and not M for
the SCSI stuff. Otherwise you must know how to drive initrd because Debian
doesn't have a mkinitrd like Mandrake, etc.
Also kernel module compiling is a hassle due to the fact that the
glibc6-devel kernel version is almost impossible to get the same as the
kernel you want to run.....
