Hi,
Before rebooting, make the modules, if any. (Instructions are in the
HOWTO).
Move the new kernel out of /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot to the directory
you wish to boot from.
You then have to edit /etc/lilo.conf (assuming you are using lilo), and
create an entry for the newly compiled kernel, pointing to the place you
have just dropped the new kernel.
Then run lilo, and it should pick up on the new kernel.
To make sure what it's going to do, you might want to run it in test mode
first:
lilo -t -v
Will give verbose output of what it will do, without actually doing it.
That should be it, only I think there is an issue with keeping your old
/System.map, if you wish to boot from the older kernel later. Perhaps
someone on the list can give some info about it.
Thanks,
Harold
