Re: upgrading the kernel to 2.4
I found a mail from a few days ago (wasn't in the archives yet?) that solved my
problem:
make sure you have at least the following versions:

if needed also:

Most of them are available from woody (you don't have to do a full
upgrade to woody, just upgrade the required parts). modutils 2.3.18
isn't available however but I found 2.3.23 somewhere in the pool directory
and it installed without problems.
