I have my self rolled 2.4.22 kernel too with some mutimedia patches (low 
latency etc).
I guess, in my case it might have been an i368 vs. i686 issue: glibc rpm 
is one of the rare packages supplied in architecture specific versions, 
and I fear, apt-get (which otherwise I highly praise) didn't handle this 
correctly and "upgraded" ...i686 to ... i383. I can't reproduce this 
now, but I will keep an eye on apt-get in this respect.
