'make install' doesn't really do all it's stuff unless you also
o edit Makefile and change EXTRAVERSION = <this part>, and
uncomment the line export INSTALL_PATH=/boot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That one little edit(s) makes sure all the proper files, and links
are placed in /boot, even edits/runs lilo and makes the changes happen.

I have no idea what's meant by that "'regular' Mandrake kernel"
message complaint. BUT it's a good idea to compile a sacrifice kernel
to taint with closed source proprietary crap like nVidia provides.
IOW's compile a pure 'k7' kernel, and then repeat usin EXTRAVERSION =
to make an identical 'k7nvidia' kernel. Only apply the nVidia closed
source taints to the latter. There's no tell'n what their binaries do
to an otherwise good kernel. A recent Mandrake developer reported that
extensive testing with nVidia tainted kernels showed they can even
cause file system corruption ... among all the other untraceable
problems.

Try the latest, kernel-source-2.4.19-16mdk (~36MB) from any mirror
