Don't. really. don't. Too much stuff will break, including a lot of ioctls and /proc settings, a lot of timeout values will just be incorrect. We tried a higher HZ value for a while in RHL, but had to drop it because we kept finding more and more places that broke. Upstream fixed all of them for 2.6, for 2.4 it's a LARGE amount of work that imo just isn't worth it. Especially since 2.4.20 is quite full of known security holes for example...
