If you are just in the process of upgrading the kernel to 2.4 (which is still in pre-test version btw), I would advice you to get the kernel sources (from the unstable source dist), make your own kernel fitted to your needs (make menuconfig) and build a custom kernel package (make-kpkg -rev Custom.1 kernel_image) you can install (dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.4_Custom.1_i386.deb). Finally mark this package as to keep the current version, so it doesnt get upgraded/downgraded.
