Try this.. before doing below first command (make mrproper), make sure you have a copy of the .config file you want to use, otherwise it will get deleted if it's in the source tree. 1 - make mrproper copy over config file if need be 2 - make whateverconfig 3 - make dep 4 - make clean 5 - make bzImage 6 - make modules 7 - make modules_install if rebuilding same version that already exists, rename or delete /lib/modules/kernel-version before running next step 8 - make install 9 - make intritd (I think this is right, for ext3 filesystems, verify this command before writing it down) 10 - Check /boot dir and your grub.conf or lilo.conf to insure changes were copied/added, run /sbin/lilo if need be and reboot. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on this, been a while since I recompiled my own kernels.
