Is it safe to run a 2.4 kernel with stable?
If this is OK then, what is the best way to do it?
Should I use Adrian Bunk's stuff to do it?
http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/kernel-24.html
Is this safe or will this cause potential problems?

i'll log in, work a bit, logout, and x restarts, but gdm is gone, so
it doesn't show the login. i have to kill x, then restart gdm to get
it back.
it's on a laptop, and i often suspend the machine, instead of shut it
down, but i don't see much correl
