After you verify that make zImage works, put a formatted floppy in
drive A: and type
make zdisk
This should make you a bootable floppy disk. You can try the new disk,
and if it works, and your /etc/lilo.conf is set up the way you want, try
make zlilo
This will take care of the proper copying and move your old /vmlinuz to
/vmlinuz.old or something and should set you up properly.

I follow the steps correctly and do a make config, make dep, make clean, make modules, and make modules_install. After this I get the zImage in the ~/boot directory.
> I change it's name to vmlinuz.new and move it to /boot. Next, I do add the newly compiled kernel to /etc/lilo.conf and do a /sbin/lilo to configure lilo and I restart. Upon boot up it just hangs right before the filesystem check. WHY??? Someone help me out here I swear I'm losing it! Thanks
