if u have the compiled bzImage and system.map file in ur /usr/src/linux-2.4.20
directroy then remove entries u made in lilo.conf/grub.conf and run this
command from "make install" thats all
it will copy nessesory files to /boot and make entries in lilo.conf/grub.conf
and even write it to MBR just restart ur panic will go out
