Your mistake is the 'make vmlinux'. Use 'make zImage' after 'make clean'.
The new kernel image will be
<kernel directory>/arch/i386/boot/zImage
copy it to /boot
eg. cp arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot/vmlinuz-new
Then edit /etc/lilo.conf
Make an exact copy of the original linux boot info, change the second one's
label= and image=
eg.
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/sda1
initrd=/boot/initrd
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-new
label=linuxnew
root=/dev/sda1
initrd=/boot/initrd
read-only
When that is done save and exit.
Then run /usr/sbin/lilo
If it works fine reboot. At the LILO: prompt hit your 'tab' key
and type in
linuxnew
to run the new kernel and test it out.
If there is a problem during bootup that won't allow it to finish, you can
always reboot your system and use the original kernenl image by typing
linux
at the LILO: prompt
