[ltp] Help for a newbie

[Jon Judge]

You need to provide us some more information before we can help.  Did you
compile a modular or monolithic kernel?  What does your kernel config file
look like?  Why did you feel the need to slap a 2.4 series kernel on Debian;
was it for hardware support, or just because you felt the need?  Some more
info would be appreciated.
