apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-k7
should fix the first problem replace (the Presario is an Athlon,
right). Be sure to follow the initrd instructions for LILO, and update
/etc/modules to load the modules you need! The 2.4.18 kernels are very
modular, and they work very well (for me anyway).
I don't run Gnome 2, but from what I've heard you probably want to be
running sid (unstable) or use a backport
