You just need to update your keymap.
2.4 kernel does differentiate two backslash key on JP 106 keyboard.
When I press lower-right backslash (scancode 0x73), I get keycode 89 on both Linux 2.4 and 2.6.
When I press upper-right backslash (scancode 0x7d), whose key top is Japanese yen and bar, I get keycode 124 on Linux 2.4 but 183 on Linux 2.6.
Is the change of keycode of upper-right backslash a new feature of Linux 2.6? What is the advantage of this new feature?
The following is from /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/jp106.kmap in Debian:
keycode 89 = backslash underscore control keycode 89 = Control_backslash keycode 124 = backslash bar control keycode 124 = Control_backslash
