I can't speak for the 335 series but we do have a bunch of "smaller" IBM
xSeries (225) running recent Debian without too much ado, and reading
your hardware outline (broadcom ethernet) some important points seem to
be the same. Running kernel 2.6 however; are there reasons for you to
stay with 2.4? Installation from an oldish Debian boot CD (2.6.8 kernel
based) worked like a charm even using the internal SCSI-RAID - controller.
