Unfortunatly no such guide yet exists for the debian-installer. If
you're feeling adventerous, the essence of it is:
1. Build 2.4.23 kernel package with make-kpkg in the usual way
(or use the one in the debian archive if there is one there).
2. apt-get source linux-kernel-di and read its README for how to make it
use your kernel package to generate udebs
3. apt-get source debian-installer and copy the udebs into its
localudebs directory, read its README for instructions on building
bootable images
4. Use debian-cd to generate a cdrom with the bootable image
on it. I've not done this myself so I don't know how hard it is;
probably the hard part, and will need bandwidth.
5. Write a better guide than the above based on your expereinces.
We're aware of the SATA problems and will be updating the default kernel
as soon as we can, but probably not before New Years.
