Re: 2.2 to 2.4
Changing to testing/unstable did the trick. Its booted.
Actually, this 200MMX with its 128MB RAM and 8 Gig hard drive was my pride
and joy once upon a time. when I moved it from NT Server to Linux, most
felt I had passed up on a superb desktop machine when I could hav eput any
old bit of tin as a Linux server. Yet now, compliling the 2.4 kernel was
akin to watching paint dry it was so slow.
Makes me wonder if the 3.8 kernel in a few years will cause a P4 1500MHz to
keel over in shock .-)

| I would reccoment upgrading to testing, then re-compiling using make-kpkg
