No. Adrian Bunk has created great resources for running kernel 2.4.x
on potato. I haven't used it myself, but reports are that it works
great. Please see the website he has set up at
http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/kernel-24.html
He also has deb repositories with all the upgraded/new packages you'll
need to run a 2.4 kernel with potato.
Good luck.
