Just to add my comments here, I backuped my /usr/src/linux/.config for 2.4.12. I then blew that tree away, and unpacked a fresh 2.4.13 tree. I patched this with peakup 1.00. I ran make mrproper, make clean, and moved .config to /usr/src/linux/.config. Then I went through all the usual compiling steps including make oldconfig with no problems, and got a perfectly running kernel. Have you tried using a fresh 2.4.13 tree as opposed to a patched one Steve?
