so I installed 2.4.18. The installation went fine. Quite interesting

Wrong. Use "apt-get source kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4". However, your
request ist pointless, what you need to get most modules compiled are
the kernel headers, which you can get with "apt-get install
kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4". Point your module building system to
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4/include then.

This sounds as though I'm back to square one of trying to get the
'bf2.4' source. I thought to check in first, given your 'pointless'
comment

Wouldn't a symlink identifying the 4.18 source as 4.18-bf2.4 resolve
this issue?
