The last time you compiled a modified kernel, did you first do
something like "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"? If so, that's
where you put in the modifications to the standard kernel. The
resulting file to guide production of the modified kernel went to
/usr/src/linux-2.4/.config . If you still have that file, you can
use it as the starting point.
