Setting up kernel 2.4

[vdemart@supereva.it]

I installed a perfectly working debian 3.0 on a EV5 Compaq Alpha WS,
running the boxed 2.2.20 kernel image.

Now I've been trying to install the 2.4.18 (or better the brand-new 2.4.20)
kernel image but I've been invariably ending up in a kernel panic. I think that
the problem is that I was unable to say my Alpha WS that it should
have been using initrd at boot time as only hinted by apt-get during kernel installation. 

Could someone out there explain (step by step, please) how I can tell such a
WS that I want to use initrd?

Ciao
Vittorio
