You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version 2.4.21-1-k7)
This will not work unless you have configured your boot loader to use
initrd. (An initrd image is a kernel image that expects to use an INITial
Ram Disk to mount a minimal root file system into RAM and use that for
booting).
As a reminder, in order to configure lilo, you need to
add an 'initrd=/initrd.img' to the image=/vmlinuz
stanza of your /etc/lilo.conf
I repeat, You need to configure your boot loader. If you have already done
so, and you wish to get rid of this message, please put
`do_initrd = Yes'
in /etc/kernel-img.conf. Note that this is optional, but if you do not,
you'll continue to see this message whenever you install a kernel
image using initrd.
Do you want to stop now? [Y/n]

The only problem here is that you are requesting that package installation
be aborted.
Please stop filing bug reports for issues which are not bugs, as the BTS is
not meant as a technical support service. In the future, send email to
debian-user@lists.debian.org first for help, and then if others agree it is
a bug, only then file a bug report.
