Claudio,
I cannot speak for certain with this upgrade for the 486 version, but I made
it with the 586 version, using the kernel source from kernel.org. There is
some other software that must be upgraded to migrate from the 2.2.x to the
2.4.x kernel series, and there are a few little details that may have to be
chased down, but the address below contains information on the software that
must be upgraded to run the 2.4.x kernel series on a machine previously
running 2.2.x.
