Pardon stateing at the obvious:

You can't just rename the kernel; you must edit the extra-version part of the
Makefile and build.

If you have built it ie (it won't hurt to start with make clean)
make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install

then copy the modules (usually: /lib/modules/2.4.7-10-ltsp-eicas)
(or whatever) to /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules

There is no reason to take another kernel's modules; it may not work if
you do.

If you are doing all that work, why 2.4.7 ?

This is NOT recommended. Get a fresh source from kernel.org
See contrib & howtos for reasons.

By the way, if someone is interested in my .config just ask for, I spentsome hours to add some options needed for boot process
