If I understand what you are after, you just want to be able to use this
kernel on another machine, not compile it there, or anything like that.
If so, the way I usualy do it is set "EXTRAVERSION" in the make file to
something that indicates what the kernel is for. I also set
"INSTALL_MOD_PATH" varable to point to a directory tree that I use for
to tar up the kernel.
mkdir /tmp/kernel
mkdir /tmp/kernel/boot
export INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp/kernel
make dep clean bzImage && make modules modules_install
You will have to copy the vmlinux and System.map files to
/tmp/kernel/boot yourself. I modiufied /sbin/installkernel to accept
the INSTALL_PATH varable, if set.
tar cvzf new-kernek.tgz /tmp/kernel
