Re: compiling 2.4.20
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.

PS run make-kpkg with --initrd if you want to have the initrd images
automatically built when installing the kernel .deb.
