I did the same way as u told , my steps are as follows
1)apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18
2)cp /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/.config
3)make menuconfig
Select 'Load config from file' and choose .config
Enable 'smp', 'highmem4G'
4)make dep
5)make-kpkg clean
6)make-kpkg --revision=debian.2.4 kernel-image
7)dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18_debian.2.4_i386.deb
8) Reboot
Got kernel panic. Any mistakes I did?
