Ben, You haven't given a lot of information but based on what you have I suspect your problem is initrd. 2.4.20 Debian images definitely use initrd, which means you need an initrd=/initrd.img line in lilo for that kernel, and a symlink initrd.img to /boot/initrd.img-2.4 ??? I know the 2.4.18

Download the equivalent kernel-image file, assuming there is one. Then extract the files to an empty directory with dpkg-deb (see man for info). The config file will then be in the subdirectory boot. You can simply copy it to your kernel sources directory and rename it to .config. Good luck.

The Debian kernel images are compiled to use initrd. Your new kernel will not work unless you have installed the appropriate packages. From memory I think apt-get initrd-tools will do the trick, but don't hold me to this. If you really don't want to use initrd you will so far as I know need to
