assuming you have a valid 2.4 kernel and the other deps have been taken
care of
all you would have to do is
1 copy the kernel file to /boot/
2 copy the system.map file over
3 tell your boot loader about the new kernel
This assumes you are starting from an installed system

If you have a SCSI boot drive, and you haven't built SCSI into the
