so, my qs again - has anyone actually done the kernel upgrade using apt? someone also suggested downloading the binary image and adding one more entry in lilo.conf. i don't know if that will work though.

Kernel 2.2.x and 2.4.x have *many* differences. So, the best bet would be to recompile the kernel. By the way, what do you mean by "upgrading the kernel via apt"? There are a lot of kernel packages....src, and the "bf24" kernel, etc. Which one are you specifically referring to?

Best bet, get the kernel src from kernel.org, or apt-get the src, read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes...then use kernel-package to make a .deb of the kernel. Install it.
