I don't know whether and where the SuSE kernel can be downloaded! But of 
course I can send you parts of the kernel or the entire kernel, but then 
we are again talking about  more than 200 MB. So please tell me what you 
want to see and I'll send it. Here let me start with 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20.SuSE/include/linux/hz.h. But I could also send the 
entire include tree, it's up to you!

I've not yet tried, but I'll try tomorrow and send the results!
