No it should just work on 2.4.21. You may want to try 2.4.22 if you aren't using dma on harddrive. "hdparm -d /dev/hda" > > An other question about this box is the two on-board Gigabit Network > Controller. Do they work fine on Linux?
Yes with newer versions of the e1000 driver. (2.4.21 should be new enough.) Newer kernel revs may have issues networking issues if you are enabling acpi. Try "pci=noacpi" if you have issues.
