Oliver, You need to do a "make image" somewhere in there. Then, copy the resulting "image" file to /boot. You can copy System.map if you want. It's not really needed, but doing so will avoid some confusing warning messages at boot time.
The only files you _really_ need are "image," your parmfile, and the "ipltext" file, which is usually ipleckd.boot. Note that with 2.4 kernels, /etc/zipl.conf will have some bearing on what files actually get used to write out the IPL information. Take a look at that file to understand what's being used for what.

Is /usr/src/linux-2.4/vmlinux bootable? Do I use this instead of vmlinuz? What files should be copied over to /boot in order to use my new kernel?
