try posting your .config

I have been running 2.4.20 on my laptop since it came out and while
it is a big kernel(it's my first 2.4.x in a reallly long time, before
that everything was 2.2.x), my kernel boots:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1.2M Mar 26 21:01 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20

you can see my config here:
http://portal.aphroland.org/~aphro/config-2.4.20

a 2.2.19 kernel configured with roughly equivilent options is ~750kb
