Hi Adam,
I believe the steps are:
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper (cleans up any old compile configs, doing this after
make menuconfig will wipe your kernel config - probably what's causing you
the trouble)
make menuconfig or make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage (or bzdisk to put it on floppy to try it first - I always
do this)
cd /lib/modules
mv 2.2.13-20 2.2.13-20.old (back up the old stuff)
cd /usr/src/linux
make modules
make modules_install
cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20 /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20.old
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13-20 (if
you did make bzImage earlier)
/sbin/lilo
reboot
good luck
Mike
