Sorry, you need to include a little bit more information about your setup 
to make clear what is going/went wrong. 2.4 kernels in Debian are using 
initrd as well and has been doing so for a while. Are you compiling your 
own kernels or using stock Debian kernel-images? In the latter case, what 
particular versions of packages have you tried, where were they downloaded 
from and what particular error messages you've received?
