When I used a slack box to compile kernels with Debians config, I still ran into a bunch of module compatibility issues when trying to 'modprobe' my network drivers and just about everything else too. At least once I used a 2.2.20 kernel I compiled, the install kernel and drivers step in the debian installer began to work properly and find the stuff it needed. I couldn't get a 2.4.18 kernel to do that; probably because I didn't match the exact version number/name. Let us know how you come out on this. I gave up and fell back to slackware because I was anxious to get that box up and running with something again:).
