I would like to thank everyone that responded to this. After a couple of failures I am running kerel-2.4.9. What I wound up doing was to make xconfig and use the config-2.4.9-586 file that I had and change the usb from module to built in and everything seemd to work. No Kernel Panics so I'm upi and running.
