New Kernel Help

[Kenny Grimm]

I don't think you hosed up on anything, you just need to rename that
vmlinux-2.4.19 to vmlinuz-2.4.19 as it is the bzImage (compressed
kernel).  vmlinux is the name for an uncompressed kernel.  As for
initrd, that is typically only necessary if you have a SCSI controller. 
If you don't most likely you can just remove that line from your
lilo.conf.

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.
