If it were me I would change to woody in my sources.list then apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. Then do a apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.x whatever is the newest one.
I am running the latest kernel images on i386 and Sparc and 2.4.9 is working well.

Subject: Mozilla is so slow! Problem with my upgrade to 2.2r3?
I did an apt-get dist-upgrade, to move from 2.1 to 2.2r3, then did an
apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.19, based on a recommendation from this
mailing list.
My problem now is that when I start Mozilla it takes 50 to 60 seconds
before the application appears on the screen, and all the time I can
hear my hard drive "thrashing." After that any activity in Mozilla
(such as clicking on "file" or "edit") takes about a minute to execute.
If I were using Windows I would assume that the operating system got
trashed again and I would reload it for the umpteenth time.
What could be happening here? I think I may be ready to buy a set of
2.2 disks because from a beginner's viewpoint it seems that successfully
upgrading the OS to 2.2 was probably too much to expect. It went very
smoothly (I was very impressed with how easy it was!), but I did get
some messages about what seemed to be housekeeping tasks that needed to
be done as a result of the upgrade. Some of them related to files that
simply don't exist on my machine, so maybe something is seriously
wrong.
Anyway, I thought I would post this question here just in case it's an
obvious, easily fixed problem. Otherwise, I'll just re-install from a
new set of disks. By the way, my computer is a Pentium 200 MHz, with 32
MB of RAM. Is this too antiquated to run Mozilla, or perhaps Gnome or
Galeon eventually???
Thanks,
Peter Christensen
