Some times an old kernel is better!
It makes sense to use a knoppix or debian because it will install a 2.2 kernel by default and some old hardware won't work anymore with a 2.4 kernel. It is the case with some bridges for the pcmcia (bridge = link between the pcmcia and the motherboard bus). I installed a 2.4 kernel on a old mobile 700 from Siemens and never get the pcmcia to work. Sorry i don't remember the bridge reference rigth now.
