debian already provides 2.4.21 binaries. If you want to compile them by yourself, I would suggest:
apt-get build-dep kernel-image-2.4.21-1-generic This will also download the kernel-source tar.bz2 under /usr/src. The tarball already has the debian patches applied. They are important for initrd. To get the debian .config files, run apt-get source kernel-image-2.4.21-1-generic and copy the file from the config/ directory. Ionut PS run make-kpkg with --initrd if you want to have the initrd images automatically built when installing the kernel .deb.
