No, I have not mistaken 2.4 with 2.2. Have a look at the kernel project's svn tree[1], and have a look at the debian installer, 2.4 has been dropped. The page you quote above also has a *very* important part that you either have missed, or deliberately ignored: "2.4 kernels are only supported for upgrade from sarge. Users should install a 2.6 kernel after (or before) the upgrade." I disagree that this turns debian into a desktop distribution. I manage quite a large number of debian servers, all running 2.6 fine. However, this isn't a fight that you should make with me, take it to the kernel team if you want to try and change this before etch releases. >>>> If you make a new kernel using the latest kernel patches, do it work >>>> better for you? >>> this is the latest patch. >> This is *not* the latest patch.

I'm sorry, but you are out of date. Look at the Linux-vserver home page, the patches which you are calling 'development' went stable some time ago. There are stable vserver patches which have been released, and they are for 2.6. There are patches still available for 2.4, but the /stable/ version is for 2.6. In fact, if you are not interested in development patches you should be using vs1.2.10 not vs1.2.11-rc1.
