I'm actually running this kernel on my laptop (770Z).
It contains pcmcia-cs-3.1.21 too. It works fine.

Except for my pcmcia cardbus, since Linus unified the 
3c575_cb.o and the 3c59x.o module. I need to start
/etc/pcmcia/network start eth0 manually. 

You can get kernel RPMS at the following address :

ftp://rpmfind.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/linux/local/SRPMS
ftp://rpmfind.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/linux/local/RPMS/i386

My lilo.conf looks like :
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
vga=ask
append="mem=196032k"
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
linear
default=linux24

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-14.ext3
	label=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-0.21.8
	append="mem=196032k idebus=66"
	label=linux24
