That's a surprise to me, as I booted 2005.0 with the 2.4 kernel on my 
XL366 through MILO just about a week ago to reinstall from scratch after 
total data loss. It worked fine, though I couldn't boot the 2.6 kernel 
(which is probably a known issue for MILO-only machines).

What boot command are you using? Here's mine :

boot sr0:/boot/gentoo_2.4 initrd=/boot/gentoo_2_4.igz root=/dev/ram0 
init=/linuxrc looptype=zisofs loop=/zisofs noudev devfs cdroot

(as stated in bug #94788 - http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94788)
