The final steps are quite simple:
# make modules_install
This will install the modules in /lib/modules/${version_string}
The version string is defined in the make file. Red Hat kernel source
packages should have the extra version set to "custom", which will
prevent wiping out your current modules directory.
My Makefile has:
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 18
EXTRAVERSION = -17.8.0custom
Which gives us 2.4.18-17.8.0custom
# make install
This runs /sbin/installkernel, which will handle installing the kernel,
setting up either grub or lilo, and creating an initrd.img file if
necessary.
The kernel I built should exactly match Red Hat's stock kernel, since I
made no changes to the config file. Here's my grub.conf after running
"make install"
default=2
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-17.8.0custom)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-17.8.0custom ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-17.8.0custom.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-17.8.0)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-17.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-17.8.0.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img
If all went well, it should even boot for you when you finish. ;)
