Make sure you have kernel 2.4.16 then,
cd /usr/src
wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/patch-2.4.17.bz2
bunzip -c patch-2.4.17.bz2 |patch -p0
chown -R 0.0 linux
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
dpkg -i <the deb image>
reboot.
If it doesn't patch download the whole source tree and forget the patch.
If you get some linker error, downgrade binutils... It then should work.
