http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html

This is how I compile a kernel:

make menuconfig (or xconfig)
make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install
(modules_install must be run as root)

copy bzImage to /boot/image-`uname -r`
# ln -s /boot/image-`uname -r` /vmlinuz-`uname -r`
copy System.map from source to /boot/System.map-`uname -r`
add "image=" line to /etc/lilo.conf:

    image=/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
            label=`uname -r`
            read-only

# lilo -v

Reboot. Hold shift and select new kernel from lilo menu. If the kernel
boots as expected, I add the new kernel image to the "default" line in
lilo.conf, run `lilo -v` again and reboot.
