Adding new device drivers support into Linux Kernel image

| Hi,
I am trying to compile Redhat kernel 2.4.18 on new intel machine.
After compiling the kernel and rebooting from it i get the following
message:
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs at 08:08
By default there is no support for my scsi device in kernel 2.4.18.
I need to load the device driver with e thkernel so it can boot from
the root partition.
How can i add new device drivers to the kernel so it can load the
device with the kernel itself ?
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated ?
Regards,

Why 2.4.18? This kernel is vulnerable! Don't use it unpatched.

Use a ramdisk. Create it with mkinitrd.
