but maybe its incompatibility in libc - anyway I'm using uptodate Debian Woody if this helps.
It is problem with Debian's glibc, it is compiled with 2.2.x kernel headers. I filled bugreport against this few weeks ago, but it was marked as inappropriate because of Debian glibc is built against newest kernel-headers package, and newest kernel-headers package is still 2.2.x.
Maybe someone (you) should fill bug against kernel-headers or kernel-source to get 2.4.x into Debian. Then Ben Collins (Debian glibc maintainer) can recompile and officially release glibc compiled against 2.4.x kernel.

Does kernel 2.4.x compile and run well for all of our supported archs? Do programs compiled against a glibc with LFS (2.4.x kernel) support, and using that LFS support, work on kernel 2.2.x machines?
If the answer to the first one is "no", then the spread of LFS will be slow in Debian, until 2.4.0 becomes stable enough to use. If the answer to the second is "no", then you wont see LFS support in Debian till post woody.
Secondly, anyone who thinks they know what they are doing, can simply download the Debian glibc sources files, and build against kernel-2.4.0 headers with this simple command:
LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.0-test11 apt-get -b source glibc
Simple, eh? :)
