Do you have the .config from the kernel you currently use?  does this
show anything?

gzcat /proc/config.gz

Or maybe it was placed in boot?

ls /boot/config*

If not, you are going to be rebuilding the kernel from scratch.  Is this a
gentoo system you are on?

2.4.18 is very old, unless you are doing a very specific task which
requires it, I would suggest using the newest version available, either
2.4.29 or 2.6.10...
