You can't just type "make" after running the config. After doing the "make config" or "make menuconfig" then you need to do this (in /usr/src/linux)
make bzImage (to build the kernel) make modules (to build the kernel modules) make modules_install (to install the modules)
The kernel will be built in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot
The kernel modules will install to /lib/modules/2.4.XX (for example 2.4.20)
You need to copy (and probably rename) that kernel (called bzImage). In slackware I copy it to /boot and give it a name like vmlinuz-yoyager (or pick whatever name you like).
Then finally, you need to add an entry into your /etc/lilo.conf
I suggest that you leave your old (working) kernel on the system, and ADD (don't change) the kernel reference in lilo.conf. That way you can boot either kernel. This is important because sometimes your new kernel won't boot. You want to be able to boot your old kernel OR the new one.
See the kernel HOWTO And read the LILO documentation.
