i think your problem is that the kernel installed by default doesn't seem to support smbfs. if you're not completely attached to said kernel and want to join the rest of the 2.4 world, i recommend:
# apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18
you may need to add a line to lilo.conf about initrd (not sure) before

it probably is--if you're feeling adventurous:
# apt-get install kernel-package kernel-source-2.4.18
the former has an excellent cmdline program make-kpkg which automates lots
of the stuff and gives you a .deb package you can install with dpkg, and
the latter is the actual source tree. i'd recommend reading up on the
docs for both.
