The part I find ironic and unsettling is that according to the SuSE support terms any 2.4.x kernels can't be supported. It makes you wonder, since they were the first to release the 2.4 kernel, that this was more a marketing ploy to boost sales.

I think a lot of people are confusing two different interpretations of the word "support". SuSE7.1 supports the 2.4.x kernels quite nicely, but that does not mean that the SuSE support department will answer questions regarding those kernels. So the following question has two directly opposite answers (and equally true answers), depending on how you understand the word "support": Does SuSE support the 2.4.x kernels? 1) Yes (these kernels work on SuSE.) 2) No (the Support Department cannot support these kernels.)
