I use it on my Potato (2.4 kernel too) without problems.
I've got some difficulties installing the software, and then I wrote
these lines somewhere on my harddisk. It can be useful for you I guess :)
PS I used the source file from the install CD

If you experienced problems while installing PowerChutePlus 4.5.2
(pc452_glibc.tar) on a Debian/Linux system, here's a solution
(for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 rev 3, aka Potato)
1. Download libstdc++2.8 package via
http://packages.debian.org/stable/oldlibs/libstdc++2.8.html
2. Install it
dpkg -i libstdc++2.8_2.90.29-2.deb
3. Create /etc/rc.d temporarily, because of bad install path
ln -s /etc /etc/rc.d
4. Install SmartUPS
./INSTALL
5. Remove the previous temporary link
rm -f /etc/rc.d

That's it. Just my 2 cents
