The chance is really quite considerably better, yes. > If so, How do I find the 2.4.7 kernel-source.deb? (Archives?) > > Would using the 2.4.7 kernel source from RH 7.2 help for compatability? Either that or the plain source from kernel.org.

Here's the README.Debian from kernel-source-2.4.18, listing the patches currently applied in the Debian source: kernel-source for DEBIAN ------------------------ These patches were applied: * NFS client seekdir patch http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/ These modifications were also made: * Fixed a couple of argument processing bugs in main.c (Eric Delaunay). * Added initrd support for cramfs. * Exported proc_get_inode. * Hacked ide_xlate_1024 to work when IDE is modularised. * Fixed pegasus_set_multicast lockup. * Work around 21143 (rev 65) select_media bug in drivers/net/tulip/21142.c. * Fixed dead lock on shutdown in 8139too. * Allow ECN to be compiled in but disabled. * Removed non-free Keyspan firmware. * Don't kill page cache entries in set_blocksize. * Added support for nm256xl+ (Mattia Monga). * Fixed handling of HIDs with product strings bug no manufacturer. * CONFIG_SERIAL_ACPI now depends on CONFIG_SERIAL == y. * Fixed negative inode numbers in /proc/net (Arnaud Giersch). * pcnet32_purge_tx_ring may be called from IRQ context (Darren Salt). * Check old_bbpnt in drivers/scsi/sr.c (2.5). * Removed CONFIG_FT_ALPHA_CLOCK. * Export est_cycle_freq (needed for removing CONFIG_FT_ALPHA_CLOCK). * Fixed the use of return values from mem*_io in drivers/isdn/sc. * Added missing headers in drivers/pcmcia/i82092.c. * Fixed compile error in drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.c on alpha. * Removed -g from driviers/atm/Makefile. * Added missing personality patch to fs/binfmt_elf.c. * Extern inline -> static inline in drivers/char/specialx.c drivers/net/hamradio/soundmodem * Added asm/io.h for in*/out* to drivers/isdn/hisax/hisax_fcpcipnp.c drivers/net/wan/farsync.c * Fixed double free in drivers/net/zlib.c fs/jffs2/zlib.c * Corrected AdvWriteDWordLramNoSwap in drivers/scsi/advansys.c. * Added check for VIA KT266 IO-APIC, version == 2. * Updated pegasus driver (2.4.19pre6). * Added ATARAID device names to main.c. * Updated uhci driver (Johannes Erdfelt). * Translate slashes in broken Acorn ISO9660 file systems (Darren Salt). * Added newline to printk in drivers/sound/i810_audio.c ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). * Updated parport driver (2.4.19pre6). Changes to comments and documentation: * Fixed typos in asm/socket.h. * Fixed a typo in Documentation/sound/VIBRA16 (Carlos Valdivia Yagüe). * Fixed a typo in Documentation/sound/OPL3-SA (Carlos Valdivia Yagüe). * Fixed comment about epochs in arch/alpha/kernel/time.c.
