it depends on what you're gonna do. chroot will change your /, but the
system will be the same. modprobe won't work in the chrooted 'alien'
system because it will look for modules on the chrooted
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ and will find 2.6 modules, that wont fit your
2.4 kernel.

maybe you just need to edit /etc/resolve.conf in the chrooted /etc in
order to fit your dns server?! i guess that's all
good luck ;)
