hey...

i just upgraded the kernel on a RH5.2 machine to 2.2.14 and went through the following 
steps:

make config
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp System.map /boot

i then edited lilo.conf to look like this:

boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/System.map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/bzImage
        label=linux
        root=/dev/sda1
        read-only

when i run top or ps as root, i get "Warning: /boot/System.map not parseable as a 
System.map".  i thought the problem might have been an old buggy procps, so i 
installed the latest one and it does the same thing.

i searched the siglinux archives and saw that someone suggested running "make install" 
to correct the problem.  i did that and then everything worked. 

what does 'make install' do that the above steps didn't?  also, that old email said 
that you needed to 'make install' on redhat systems specifically.  is that correct?  
that seems like it would be something independant of distribution.  is there something 
big i am not understanding here?

tia!
