Ok, I am working on 36hrs straight with no sleep so please bare with
me....NOT on this same project, just need to get my sleep schedule back to
normal.
I have compiled my kernel and moved it from the /usr/src.../arch folder to
/boot and renamed it from bzImage to vmlinuz-2.4.7, I have done the same
with System.map to /boot/System.map-2.4.7

files in /boot: (most have been omitted for space)
System.map -> System.map-2.4.2-2
System.map-2.4.2-2
System.map-2.4.7
vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
vmlinuz-2.4.7

First of all, where do I "make module_install" in this process ??? (I know
to do it at /usr/src)
For the System.map, there is already a sym link to my current 2.4.2-2
kernel. Do I need delete the current sym link and then make the symbolic
link (ln -s System.map-2.4.7 System.map) and THEN do "make module_install"?

Then edit the /etc/lilo.conf file as so:....adding this
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7
	label=k247
	read-only
	root=/dev/hda5

I am guessing that I do the sym link for System.map, do "make
module_install", then edit the lilo.conf file, run "lilo", reboot and do
k247 at the lilo prompt.

If any of this is incorrect please place under the wrong spots.
Thanks
Rob


PS--sorry for sending this to this list but I started posting to the
linux-kernel list and they bashed me for sending to the development list and
told me to go to the newbie list, I CANT FIND THE KERNEL NEWBIE LIST, this
list has seemed to be helping with pleasure and I know a few of you are
wanting help in this but are just too shy/quiet to ask
