The source is the same for all the packages, only the configuration is
different. You need to get the config-2.4.27-1-386 file from /boot, and
change the EXTRAVERSION in the Makefile to -1-386. Next run make clean
and make dep. You can also try the kernel-headers-2.4.27-1-386 package,
which should have the files you need to compile external modules for
your kernel.
