Mark,
What I did is patch the 2.4.22 vanilla from kernel.org with the new ck-1 
patches set, which works very well- close to 2.6 performance. It has 
preemptive, low-latency, etc. After you patch, add the athlon-xp stuff to the 
makefile, and it builds with those gcc flags. I do my compiling in 
/home/wrc/kernels, and su to root for modules_install, and copy bzImage. I 
find I have less problems that way.

Here's a link to the Con Kolivas site.
