In machines where you don't need modules, I guess you just compile and then
copy to the target machine the bzImage and the System.map . In case you _do_
need modules, do you copy bzImage, System.map and all the modules dir to the
target machine?
It's much simpler by doing it the Debian way:
make menuconfig / xconfig, whatever
make-kpkg kernel_image --revision yourkernel
Creates a nice little .deb with all the things you need, you just have
to dpkg -i it to get your bzImage installed to /boot, actualized
vmlinuz.old, modules installed and lilo run. Works with
debian-kernel-sources as well as official ones. Great for making kernels
on one machine and using them on another.
All in all, nice little tool :)
