Since u don't have the configuration saved in a file, u will have to go
through each and every option after make menuconfig / xconfig and select
those required by you. This time do save those options to a file. It really
helps. Keep that file in /usr/src which I do. After compilation I just
remove the kernel sources from /usr/src/linux, since I have a handy deb
file :-)

Now u will have to do the following :

rm -rf /usr/src/linux ( or rpm -e lx_suse-src<whatever>.rpm )
tar -zxvf <kernel2.4-src.tar.gz) /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make menuconfig ( or make xconfig) [ save the config to a file ]
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make install
make modules_install
vi /etc/lilo.conf [ make the necessary changes ]
lilo -v
reboot
