Any mistakes I did? Did you indicated correct root device? I suppose you use lilo as boot loader. Did kernel-image correctly updated lilo.conf and rerun lilo? IIRC bf2.4 is compiled more statically, so try to install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686 and use its config file. If you try this, you should use make-kpkg with --initrd and do you really need smp? I've missed begging of the thread and don't know if your machine is smp capable.
