That looks OK.

One of our Squid-boxes runs Red Hat 7.0 and uses
"2.2.19-7.0.12enterprise" (latest official RH-kernel for RH 7.0).

An other of our Squid boxes runs RH 7.1 and uses 2.4.9-12enterprise
(latest official RH-kernel for RH 7.1).

Both run fine. However, I wouldn't do what you do. There could be
glibc<->kernel issues with our cocktail.

Actually, I don't think that the 2.4 Linux kernel is that much more
effecient than the 2.2 generation for my purposes. But I would not be
surprised if you get trouble if you introduce a old kernel generation
into a new Linux distribution tailored for the 2.4 kernel generation.
