I belive that your 3.0r1 install CD has a 2.4 kernel on it. Is it
listed if you enter the following on the command line?
apt-cache search kernel-image-2.4.18
If so install it with "apt-get install <packagename>"
Cheers,
Nick.

Please wrap you lines at around 72 columns and use paragraphs: these
two things will make your emails much more readable.
