Depends. On Sparc/32 normally "make menuconfig; make clean dep vmlinux modules modules_install". in /usr/src/linux. Then copy the resulting arch/sparc/boot/vmlinux to where you need it (/boot/vmlinux), edit /etc/silo.conf and run silo (you don't need to run it every time you install a new kernel). However, 2.4.x has "issues", so I was told, on Sparc/32. In clear: they won't boot at all for me on my Sparc 10. 2.4.1 isn't any better.
