The handbook also says that make in the kernel build directory would place the new kernel in its place. Well, it doesn't (at least for me it didn't...). Just look in the kernel build directory, there should be a file named kernel there. Install it in your root directory (the instructions for doing that are in the book, in a section about restoring an old kernel or something...). You can also make sure that the kernel is the one you built by examining the modification date on /kernel, and by checking the name of the kernel (it is written out when the machine boots). Nadav
