Recompiling the kernel is a useful skill and much easier (with
kernel-package) that is may at first appear. The tutorial at
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html is pretty
nice. I corresponded briefly with the author and he really did his
homework.
In any case I am surprised that just simply installing one of the
precompiled Debian kernel images from 2.4.20 or later did not work for
you. But perhaps there were other difficulties in doing so.
