Hi,
copy the file /boot/config-<old-kernel-version> to
$(new-kernel-source-dir)/.config and run "make menuconfig".
Then you can compile a kernel with the options from the older kernel.

Everything works fine except sound. This is OK as I know that I need 2.4.x for my sound to work. I then installed kernel-image 2.4.16-k7 to the system and everything including the sound works fine, and has done for about 10 days.

For people like me, and newer ones the fact that the instalation kernel (2.2.20) when replaced by a distribution kernel image from the same source (2.4.18) would be expected to run the same hardware, and it doesnt in this case. A truly new person would have just said, "I didn't get this trouble from Windows!"
