If you make your kernel like this:
make config (or oldconfig if you already have a good .config file)
make dep
make clean
make install
make modules
make modules_install
then before you do the above, edit /etc/lilo.conf and point it to
/boot/vmlinuz, rather than /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12
RedHat makes the obscene assumption that you will _only_ be using their
kernel and never upgrade. You can make newer kernels all you want, but
until you fix lilo.conf, it will merrily boot the old one. :)
don't forget to select the SMP support option when you make config
(or make xconfig/menuconfig)
