The 6.4 is proably a bit too old (not every package is 2.4 ready).

If you want to play with 2.4, get these rpms:
ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/modutils-2.4.1-0.ppc.rpm 
ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/2.4.1/k_deflt-2.4.1-3.ppc.rpm 

If you want to compile your own kernel, use these patches for a plain
2.4.1.tar.bz2 from kernel.org:
http://penguinppc.org/~olaf/linux-2.4.1/
the plain 2.4.1 does not contain all needed ppc patches.

Read the Documentation/Changes file for the needed version of some
tools, ppp as example need an update, compile it against 2.4 headers.
