How do I upgrade the kernel? grab ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/unofficial-debs/kernel-image-2.4.9-32_011017.pa59_hppa.deb and dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.9-32_011017.pa59_hppa.deb I think you are advised to upgrade the rest of your system first, if you havn't done so recently (apt-get update; apt-get upgrade).
