No Module mptbase for kernel 2.4.26

[Kalpesh Modi]

Hello:
This is in regards to an update from kernel 2.4.18-14 to 2.4.20 on RH 8.0
I have build, compiled,configured and saved my kernel configuration. 
Next step is to create a RAM disk to include it in the loader file(GRUB or LILO)

When i execute the command 
mkinitrd initrd-2.4.26.img 2.4.26 in the boot directory

i get the following message
No module mptbase for kernel 2.4.26

I would want to know the significance of this error and steps to
eliminate for successful upgaradation of my kernel

Best,
