Following the directions in the README, I
make config
make dep
make bzImage
According to the README, you're supposed to replace the exisiting kernel
image with the new image. But the current image is simple a link to
vmlinuz in /boot. So I copied the new image to /boot/vmlinux-2.4.4 and
moved the link from linuz-2.3... to the new kernel image.
Now my machine won't boot off of the new kernel. Fortunately, I had my
recovery disk, but I obviously missed a step in there somewhere.
