So point it to the right file. vmlinux-2.4.19 in your case (according to your
first mail).

In the doc it says to copy over the bzImage as vmlinux-2.4.19, so I did.When I added the new entry into grub.conf I noticed that I didn't have a vmlinuz-<version> and initrd-<version> in /boot. These must be necessary as I can't boot to 2.4.19.
