Can you help?
Kernel 2.4 is still used for some specialized reasons, but few people
want to use it unless they have such specific reasons. Also, few want
to use Sarge, since it doesn't get security updates. Perhaps you might
give us a few details about your system and your requirements.
Do you have a severe memory constraint, for example?
(Most driver updates these days probably assume the 2.6 kernel. You may
have to roll back to an older driver, if there is one. Also, it seems
you are unsure what hardware you actually have. It might help to find
out for sure. The difference might be significant.)
