  Assuming that you have a compiled kernel in /boot dir.
  To make sure check if you have bzImage in /boot.
  All you have to do is open /etc/grub.conf
  in the file add the following lines
  title <give any name want eg:2.4.20>
        root (hd0,1) /*This may differ in your system*/
        kernel /boot/bzImage ro root=/dev/hda2 /*the root= must be
chosen based on the root partition of your linux.
        to check this use fdisk -l command and figure out.
