Of course, I wasn't trying to use initrd on purpose. What I did was install the 2.4.17-686 image, then use its config file as a base, tweak the options I wanted to change (scsi emulation for my CD-R, matrox framebuffer support, turn off a bunch of stuff I know I don't have), and build. This seemed like the safest procedure for an infant kernel hacker like myself, since the installed 686 kernel worked just fine. Thanks!
