The 2.4.x kernels are very modular and so you have to take a little
more care about how, when and in what order things are loaded. The
2.2.x kernels had a lot more built into the kernel image. The nice
thing about the 2.4.x kernels is once you figure out how the module
system works you (well, at least I) don't really need to build custom
kernels.
