Back in the day, some of us went from 2.4 to 2.6 without too much
difficulty. ISTR that there was a switch required in
module-init-tools to provide compatability with modutils. Those
were probably the days when we had a separate mailing list for
bleeding-edge development (I've forgotten the name of it, and since
the archives are inaccessible it doesn't really make a lot of odds)
and its probable we sorted out the details there, by trial and error.
But in 2013, anyone starting from a 2.4 kernel will find that using
a newer host distro is going to be a much better way forward -
almost everything in a system with a 2.4 kernel will now be out of
date, and inadequate for building current kernels (e.g. gcc too
old), let alone current LFS systems.

Hi All;
Ken, as I stated earlier, for now I am doing the older linux kernels and as I
work thru each release of LFS, when I get to a version of LFS that requires
Linux 2.6, then I will switch to a newer version of Red Hat, but that is a long
way off. As I am currently at version 2.0, it will be awhile before I work my
way up to even LFS version 5..
THANK YOU Marty
