A rather strange request, rather than add to the current argument,
let me add my opinion that you'll be hard pressed to get a 2.4
kernel running under Ubuntu. It's kind of like replacing the
basement of an apartment building. A lot of things are built on
top of the kernel and run through it.
What device is it that doesn't work with the current 2.6 kernel?
