then:

make dep

make clean

make zImage

or if the image is larger than 1MB

make bzImage

then:

make modules

make modules install

The major caution during the configure phase is: Make sure that devices

needed by the kernel, before the root file system is mounted, are always built 

in and never made as modules. Any other features declared to be modularized

in the configure menu can be built as modules. Once the configuration phase

is complete, the rest of the steps should proceed with no errors. Use of make

zImage will result in the kernel image being placed in arch/i386/boot/zImage.

The normal place for this image is in /boot/vmlinuz, where it can

be accessed using the link from /vmlinuz. The kernel image must be moved

to /boot  by hand  and the new link created in /vmlinuz. The system map

file, System.map, found in /usr/local/source/linux should also be placed into

/boot with the version number appended. Refreshing the link in /System.map

to point to this new file will complete the setup.
