How did you install your kernel? In particular, did you use
kernel-package, or the procedure documented in the kernel source tree?
Using kernel-package will generate a kernel-image-2.4.5 package, which
you can then install. If you hand-built your kernel, you need to
hand-build any add-on modules as well.
The Right Way to build kernels and add-on modules in Debian would
appear to be:
(1) apt-get install kernel-package (module)-source
(2) Unpack /usr/src/*.tar.gz
(3) Acquire and unpack kernel source
(4) make *config in the kernel source tree
(5) make-kpkg --revision=custom.1 kernel_image
(6) make-kpkg modules_image
(7) Install all of the packages in the directory above the kernel
source using 'dpkg --install'
