hi,

install fresh vanilla kernel 2.6.X from kernel.org
If you need a config, take one from thinkwiki.org for your notebook or
try google.

2.4.X is too old to support all your hardware especially acpi and
ibm-acpi.

Building an operation system without source code,
is like buying a  self assemble space shuttle without
instructions.
