Irrelevant.  He asked for a 2.4 kernel because he said it's needed for the
hardware.  If he just wanted a 2.4 kernel, I'd _still_ ask why.  I actually
am pretty sure I could get the 2.4 kernel he wants without recompiling
anything, but I think it just leads to more complications than getting his
hardware working with a current kernel.
