Not just to you but Debian is cautious when it comes to Kernel upgrade.
Changing sources.list does not upgrade kernel from 2.2 to 2.4.

It requires you to install and at the same time configure few things.
Mostly initrd related staff.

Try booting with 2.2 kernel.  If you lost them, boot with potato rescue
floppy using "rescue root=/dev/hda?" at the prompt.

If it boot OK, it must have been some configuration issues.

Good luck.  Check my "Debian reference" below for more hint. :)
