If I recally correctly, from the last time I looked, the tools
listed on the page above produce 2.2.x compatible images without
any problem. If not, it should only take very minor changes to
the surrounding verbage in linux_logo.h to merge them from 2.4.x
into 2.2.x. I've done such things by hand on several occasions.
I expect with some minor tweeking you could use the 2.4.4 patch
on that webpage for 2.2.20 kernels...
