Well in a nutshell, assuming no mistakes and no scsi modules
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18
make modules
make modules_install
edit the /etc/lilo.conf
add a whole new section for the new kernel that looks like this
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.18
label=new
read-only
root=/dev/whatever the other one is
then save it and run
lilo -v
if no errors you can reboot, when the lilo promt appears type new
and press enter
if it all works fine then you can reedit lilo.conf and change the
default=new

Duct tape is like the force, it has a light side and a
dark side and it holds the universe together.
