    going from 2.4.29 to 2.6.13.1 error

    why dont you check out if you have modutils-2.4.25-9

    try doing insmod --version or depmod --verision
    it should be anything more than 2.4.2

    and then you should also try

    # make zImage

    i was able to recompile my kernel which was a 2.4.18-14(redhat 8.0) to 2.6.13.1(the latest one)
    without any problems. before you compile your kernel read the ./Documentation/Changes file in the tar.bz2 package.

    The same problem. Solved

    # make menuconfig

    Go to section "General setup"

    you can see "m" in "Initramfs source file(s)", so change it into blank

    exit saving configuration, and make bzImage again
