   In order to boot your new kernel, you'll need to copy the kernel
   image (found in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage after compilation)
   to the place where your regular bootable kernel is found.

It may also be called /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/vmlinuz but I don't
think so.

If none of these help, then try the following - if one of your previous
posts was correct you have the source installed as

/usr/src/linux/linux-2.4.0

do this:

cd /usr/src/
mv linux/linux-2.4.0 linux-2.4.0
mv linux linux-
ln -s linux-2.4.0 linux
cd linux

make dep && make bzImage

When make finishes look at what it tells you - one of the last things
it says is where it put the compiled and compressed image.

Note that because of various symbolic links that are not absolute make may
have become completely confused as to where things are - which is why I
suggested the above.  Of course that may not be your problem at all.

HTH, Rob
