These are pretty old, but nevertheless it's always a good idea to
read them. The README etc in the top level source directory are
also worth reading.
And there's lots of docs in the Documentation/ subdirectory.
Especially the Changes file, which informs about
minimal software requirements for compiling the kernel.
In the scripts/ directory ther a script ver_linux, which should
also be used. (An enhanced version is available at
http://hhv.de/projects/ver-linux/usr/bin/ver-linux )
And if all is ok do
make menuconfig
make dep clean bzlilo modules modules_install
and you should be done.
In case of problems post error messages so that people can see
what has happened and try to help.
