I just installed the 2.4.16 kernel about a week ago without a single 
problem and this is how I did it:
    downloaded tarball linux-2.4.16.tar.gz
    cd /usr/src
    md linux-2.4.16
    mv ~/linux-2.4.16.tar.gz /usr/src/linux-2.4.16
    cd linux-2.4.16
    tar -xzvf linux-2.4.16.tar.gz
    cd linux
    make xconfig                            # I like the graphical 
version it allows me to back track and make changes anywhere
    make dep
    make clean
    make bzImage
    make modules
    make modules install
Then I edited /etc/lilo.conf            #since I'm now using the 
graphical Lilo    Then I ran :
    /sbin/lilo
 I have never needed to use  "make mrproper"  however a look at my 
Makefile shows that it removes files and directories. Are you conpiling 
for a different machine? If not try "make clean" instead of "make mrproper".

Just my 2 cents.
