Congrats! For future reference, the way to make sure your kernel
compile is as clean as possible, do:
make mrproper
make config (or xconfig, or menuconfig)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
put your kernel where you want it...
make modules_install
If necessary, make your initial ramdisk (mkinitrd)...
edit your bootloader config file (lilo.conf for lilo -- menu.lst for grub)
install the bootloader ('lilo' or 'sh install.sh' for grub)
Be aware that if you want to save your previous kernel selections from
the 'make config' stage... You need to have a backup copy. 'make
menuconfig or xconfig' give you an option to save to an alternate file,
very handy. This is because 'make mrproper' wipes the config file
normaly generated by the config stages.
