do u have /boot as a seperate partition? if not then u need to specify the abs path like .... /boot/vmlinuz...... in ur grub.conf. giving "/vmlinuz..." works if one has a seperate /boot partition. (check commented lines in grub.conf)

Yeap. It does require another parameter as kernel name:
Correct command was /sbin/mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.4.18-27.7.x.img 2.4.18-27.7.x
After lots of googling i havent been able to come to any correct result yet. I have already tried removing initrd from grub.conf and it still does not work.
Thanks for the help and any further help would be gr8.

doesn't it require one more parameter? seems kernel version param is missing.
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-27.7.x) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-27.7.x ro root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-2.4.18-27.7.x.img
try bootin in the new kernel after removing initrd entry from grub.conf for the new kernel.
