You know, I've been using this for years....


make install

It doesn't do 'make modules_install' that I know of though. Maybe it does, but since I've already done it by hand, it skips through it.

What 'make install' does, by the way, is copy bzImage and rename it 'vmlinuz-(uname -r)' to /boot, create symlinks from that vmlinuz-(uname -r) to 'vmlinuz', create System.map-(uname -r) and symlinks and finally runs '/sbin/lilo'. Actually, it just prompts you to run it and you say "Y" or "N". If you use GRUB, I don't know what it does at that step.

This is not something I made up either. I read it in a kernel README or Documention item years ago. It still works and seems to work okay.
