All else fails, you may want to try and use up2date to update to the
current kernel.  On the i686 tree, it's version 2.4.20-20.9

Anyway it's worth a shot.  I had good luck letting up2date update the
kernel then rebooting.  You may want to try it on your system or
you may want to investigate further.

good luck,
