I'm curious. Where did you get that kernel?

The stable archive lists six 2.4.18 kernels but none is for s390.

Go here:

http://tux.cprm.net/pub/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.19-s390/

Download the image to your hard drive and install it with "dpkg -i
<full_file_name>".

AFAIK the kernel image you install stays on the system -- it's not a
package that can be removed or upgraded like most other things (I'd like
to see this change).
