If you installed redhat 5.0 and let de instalation do all the work, then you
have installed a kernel with kernel_modules, now all you "should need to do"
is 'modprobe ppp' that "should" install the PPP module and give you PPP
support.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This will install the kernel image in the "/" directory, a normal Redhat
installation will look into the "/boot" directory for "vmlinuz".
If you insist on using make zlilo you will need to edit
/usr/src/linux/Makefile line 75 and remove the #.
Now make zlilo will install vmlinuz in /boot.
But remember there is a symlink in the /boot directory pointing to the
kernel image.

I think thats because you boot into the same kernel as you always used.
a beter idea is use make zImage and edit a new stanza into /etc/lilo.conf
for the new kernel.
Then copy ./linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage to /boot call it vmlinuz-2.0.35 or
the relative number and edit /etc/lilo.conf accordingly.
After editing issue the command 'lilo' to install the new image.
