Are you sure you did get exactly the same drivers and file system
modules included as with your original 2.4.5 kernel? The reason I ask is
that I've just spent two entire days trying (and finally suceeding) to
get 2.4.18 working on a Compaq DL380 server (and no, not evern Red Hat's
"original" kernels worked with these systems starting with 2.4.9-21).
I didn't get the same results as you did, but various other kinds of
kernel panics either when it tried to mount the root file system or
setting up swap. I'm not sure exactly how I did manage to get it to
work, but I believe I finally figured that I needed to compile the
cpqarray driver as a module and not as a static driver, and various
other drivers static, especially those pertaining to file systems and
such. Mkinitrd didn't pick them up correctly, and using --preload or
--with to mkinitrd didn't help either. IOW, I fixed the problem with my
systems by T&E. I know too little about your system to tell whether the
problem is the same, or even similar.
