Ok so I just compiled my 2.5.66 kernel.
I used make menuconfig, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install and then make install.
When i boot I get to mounting /proc and it gives me an error saying unable to mount vfs and says that root=LABEL=/ isn't valad and I need to append it and give root= a valad path. The thing is the current 2.4.20 kernel uses the same information.
Here is my config file.

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hde1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
boot=/dev/hde
