You make no mention of actually moving the new kernel from
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot to /boot, but I assume you did that. I do
not believe make mrproper or make clean are necessary any longer. Don't
forget to run /sbin/lilo after you edit /etc/lilo.conf and move the new
kernel. The steps:
make xconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
mv /lib/modules/current /lib/modules/modules.old
make modules_install
vi /etc/lilo.conf
mv /boot/bzImage /boot/oldimage
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage
/sbin/lilo
Reboot.
