First copy the configuration of your working kernel version to the source dir of your
new kernel like this:
cp /boot/config-2.4.18-k7 /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/.config
then
make oldconfig
for just setting the new features in 2.4.20. After that you should be able to compile
and install the new kernel.

This is needed if you want to use devices at boot time (e.g. SCSI). The given image
file should then contain such modules.
