Note that the bf24 kernel has many drivers compiled into the kernel to make bootstrapping work reliably. Here is the thing to look out for. When you update and install a customized kernel such as the k7 kernel or whatever, that tuned kernel is set up for modules and your networking will stop working by default. You need to specify the module to load in /etc/modules to enable it. While the system is working with the bf24 kernel, run 'lsmod' and note the drivers that it is using. via-rhine, 8139too, tulip, etc. After updating you can place any that you need to load in /etc/modules. Then at boot time everything will be fine. The 'modconf' program will do all of this for you with a guided install. It presents a menu of drivers, you select, it installs that line in /etc/modules.
