Hello,
(1) Install kernel source for linux2.4.21-4.EL .
(2) Check the EXTRAVERSION variable in /usr/src/linux2.4.21-4.EL/Makefile
is "-4.ELcustom". (Add the suffix "custom" if missing.)
(3) Run the following.
make -s menuconfig
make -s dep
make -s
make -s modules modules_install install
(4) You will get
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.ELcustom and /boot/initrd-2.4.21-4.ELcustom.img
installed and /boot/grub/grub.conf updated.
If "make install" doesn't create initrd-2.4.21-4.ELcustom.img automatically,
"mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-4.ELcustom.img 2.4.21-4.ELcustom"
will create the initrd.

Since the suffix "custom" is added to Makefile, you needn't to worry
modifing the original kernel.

In the /boot directory, bzImage exists as vmlinuz-$kernelversion .
