You can also use the mkinitrd that comes with redhat:

# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.22

# make config
# make dep
# make bzImage
# make modules
# make modules_install
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.22
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22
# mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.22.img 2.4.22

If you get errors, it will most likely be SCSI or something.

Try:

  --omit-raid-modules  or  --omit-scsi-modules.

man mkinitrd.
