Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the directory that contains the
compiled kernel, but it is listed in the README file. In any event, did
you make a backup of the current kernel in the /boot area? Did you copy
the new kernel from the compiled area to /boot? Did you edit /etc/lilo.conf
and put in a new entry for the old kernel (just in case you need to use it)
and put in an entry for the new kernel (edit the entry for the current
bootable kernel). Did you then run /sbin/lilo?
If you didn't do any of the above steps, booting the new kernel will not work.
