5 Correct sequence for kernel generation/update is:
6
7 Go to your new kernel directory and first get your running kernel config (if
8 you enabled this in previous kernel):
9
10 # zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
11
12 Now fix the config (observing which options have "NEW" at the end and
13 consulting online help what do they mean)
14
15 # make menuconfig
16 or
17 # make xconfig
18
19 Now compile the kernel
20
21 # make
22
23 And install it
24
25 # make modules_install
26 # make install
27
28 Afterwards you do nothing (if you have GRUB) or run lilo (guess, if you have
29 LILO :)

31 Take note, that some software doesn't work in monolithic kernel (meaning with
32 modules disabled) - especially third-party binary drivers (nvidia, ATI,
33 probably ndiswrapper)
