You have to copy the kernel as well into boot. make install does this. Although
I am much more comfortable doing it "by hand." I think it is
somewhere in the arch subtree. find * | grep bzImage will tell you if pwd =
kernel root. (I'm not at my linux box at the moment.)

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!
