Try "cat /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency" or "echo 1 > 
/proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency" to enable it.

This is with the warning that I don't know if this enables the kernel 
pre-emption, or just the low-latency patch.  What I'm saying is that there 
seems to be more than one patch for the 2.4.x kernel and I don't know if this 
file enables all of them or just one or some.
