The steps are the same except for some differences in how you
prepare the kernel for compile. This is a pretty good kernel
howto that covers 2.6.x:

I do not know of any way to patch a 2.4.x to be a 2.6.x - that
would probably be pretty pointless as the patch would be huge.
You should just download the full source and follow the directions
in the above link to build and install it. Also check out
the README in the kerel source.
