Mike,
I tried the steps listed below and the vmlinuz files were not created in
/boot.
mkinitrd made a file named initrd-2.4.4-2.img that wasn't there before, but
the vmlinuz 2.4.4-2 is not there.
I need to learn more about RPM, maybe I should load the rawhide RPM?

Just install the kernel rpm from rawhide if you want 2.4 and it has the
advansys module included.
I have seen that site your referring to and I dont' think that site is 100%
accurate in kernel compile IIRC. Try this to see if it works if rather not
install the RPM mentioned above..
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make xconfig
make dep
make clean (optional)
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install
cd /boot and make sure the vmlinuz files are there for the new one
edit /etc/lilo.conf to make sure the stanza's match the new kernel in /boot
run /sbin/lilo
reboot
