Hi Martin, Hi All, I have addressed the elf loader issue and one or two other problems I had outstanding and built some kernel-source and kernel-image-i386 packages, both are versioned 2.4.27-6. If interested parties could take a look before I upload them I would be grateful. Interested parties = anyone who wants to use a debian 2.4 kernel in sarge.
