i've been using potato with the 2.4.x kernels since 2.4.x came out.
the packages i needed to make potato work with the 2.4.x kernel are:
bsdutils_1%3a2.10s-2_i386.deb mount_2.10s-2_i386.deb
e2fsprogs_1.19-3_i386.deb ppp_2.4.0f-1_i386.deb
iptables_1.2-2_i386.deb util-linux_2.10s-2_i386.deb
modutils_2.4.2-1_i386.deb
