I installed the latest 2.6.18.3 alongside the 2.4.27 that initially
came with the sarge netinst and sure enough my PC card is no longer
recognized. 
So it looks like I'm stuck with a 2.4 kernel for the lifetime of this
laptop.


You can install on a working Debian-Machine the package "debian-cd"
download the source of 2.4.32 and build your own Debian-Install-CD.

I have done this several times before and and since I have 11
computers which do not want to boot with a 686 kernel

This stupid Kernel-Maintainers have included SMP in 686/Etch and the
D-I give me no chance to choose another Kernel

i do not understand. what is the problem??

quote:
*SMP images merged with non-SMP*. After the release of linux-image-2.6.17-2 the SMP and non-smp images where integrated into only one image. After this you will no longer find images like linux-image-2.6.16-2-686-smp and linux-image-2.6.16-2-686 but only one image that will detect at run time the presence of a SMP system and enable or disable the SMP code: 

    * Sarge: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 and kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp
    * Etch: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686



kind regards,
