2.5.59 probably is not going to work, it was just first shoot to see if
it compiles. But 2.4.18 case is more interesting. You can try other
2.4.* (look in old/ directory, packages are moved there with automatic
script, so any new 2.4.* kernel is automagically outdated with existing,
broken 2.5.59). If your machine fails with 2.4.* contact us again (might
be through backtracking system). I'm running 2.4.20-2/i686 on Athlon XP
with no problems.
