Ok, I have a dual CPU MB, so the first thing I want to do is recompile
with SMP support.
make clean
make xconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make bzlilo

Unfortunatally, "make bzlilo" doesn't install the kernel correctly,
apparently because the lilo.conf file points to the kernel in the /boot
directory.

No problem I think...edit lilo.conf to point to the new /vmlinuz kernel,
re-run lilo to install it, and the new kernel boots, and then promptly
hangs when "Finding Module Dependencies".

After re-installing (I'm at a temp job working out of a motel, don't have
rescue boot disks, just install boot floppy from 5.3 and 6.0 CD...) I
tried just overwriting the old kernel image in the /boot directory (file
name called vmlinuz-2.2.9-19mdk or something like that) re-running lilo
and rebooting. Same error, hangs up after turning the HD for 15 seconds at
the "Finding Module Dependencies" part.

I assume that there is something simple I'm doing wrong?
