I used to have a machine with 8MB RAM running with a 2.4 kernel. It thrashed a lot (well, -anything- thrashes with only 8MB RAM) but worked.

You might need to load some modules or some details of some module may have changed. When I did the 2.2->2.4 upgrade I discovered I had to load the 'ide-cd' module or the cd drive was not usable.

Don't remove the old until you are satisfied with the new.
