Well, as it turned out, after some handy forehead slaps from XFire,
2.4.x kernels need a few more recent packages that are tuned
specifically for the changes in the 2.4.x kernel architecture, to be
back ported to Potato.

There are two approaches to resolving this:

- Back port the packages yourself

- Put this in your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian/ potato main

and then do an apt-get "dist-upgrade".
