This is my first attempt as well at messing with kernel and stuff. But thanks to a great starting point by David Brown and a little bit of spare time I have enhanced the howto for Upgrading the kernel to a 2.4 kernel. I went back to 2.4.7 in order to keep the smp, BOOT, and regular kernel the same version. I have also added a few things to get the main filesystem converted to ext3 and added ipchain support so that the masq stuff still works. There still seems to be a problem with PPTP. I have not had a chance to test diald, pppoe or dhcpd stuff yet. It appears that dhcpd at least starts but that is as far as I have gotten.
do the following as root to update to 2.4.7 kernel with quota support and ext3 ==============================================================================

Appears that ppp.o and ppp_mppp.o in the /lib/modules/2.2.19-7.0.8/net may be needed for PPTP to work. May need to recompile these for the newer kernel.
