Yea, install the system using the compact kernel and a burn of the full
CD1 ISO. The conflict is most likely due to the bf24 having several SCSI
drivers including internally rather than as external modules. Once the
system is up and running install one of the various kernel-image-2.4
packages which have most everything compiled as a module.
