Stock kernels before 2.4.19 (I think) had this problem. It "should" work fine with 2.4.21. However I think you should check your .config. You may need to recompile with some additional option enabled. Maybe look at the change logs at kernel.org. Sorry for the cryptic response; a work mate had this problem just the other day, and a compiling a 2.4.21 kernel did solve the problem. I'd ask him, but he's out right now.
