[debian-non-standard] 2.4 kernel on Asus WL500G Premium

[Luci Stanescu]

Hello,

I haven't had any problems with flashing a 2.6 kernel image on the above 
mentioned and using a usb stick as the root filesystem, except for the 
fact that wireless does not work. OpenWRT with 2.4 kernel (2.4.35.4 
iirc) works without any problems, the userland in debian etch seems to 
work with 2.4 (file reports

ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS-I version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 
2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

and I've actually completed the second stage of debootstrap from openwrt 
and installed a few packages by chrooting) but I just can't seem to 
build an image with a 2.4 kernel that boots. I'm blindfolded for now, 
but that will change as soon as possible.

So, my question is: has anyone tried this? Am I missing something?

Thank you for your help,
Luci Stanescu
