apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade you to a new kernel (and generally you
wouldn't want it to, since to upgrade to a new kernel you'd have to
reboot... well I guess you can tell I'm used to workstation computers that
are always left on).
You want to install kernel-image-2.4.19-686 (or whichever processor you
have).
