I changed 4 boxen to 2.4.x. No worries.
Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list
# Use these for kernel 2.4 update to Potato
deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
then run
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
I use the kernels from ftp.us.kernel.org so don't recall if you
get the kernel source with the upgrade or not. If not you will have
to install the source & header packages.
I don't recall any headaches at all. Do get the latest kernel tho.
2.4.7 is running fine here.

A bug in the code is worth two in the documentation.
