Well, it's a pain but I'd go through the config the old-fashioned way,
eg.:
make clean
make-kpkg clean
make distclean
make (xconfig|config|menuconfig)
make-kpkg <whatever>
Something obviously didn't get built right in your 2.4 kernel. At least
I can't think of any other possible reason it can't see you're HD,
especially with 2.2.18 booting fine.
