Thinking that you are using RH 8...
steps such as...make mrproper, cp some_config /usr/src/linux/.config,
make dep, make clean
then
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install
The make install should put everything where it needs to be - there is
one caveat...if you use the same kernel that you already have installed,
you should really edit the 'Makefile" before you get to the step of make
bzImage - you do this by editing the 'ExtraVersion" line - add anything
to it...it makes sure that the new kernel doesn't overwrite your old
kernel/modules/etc.
See redhat 8 customization guide
<http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/index.html>
or more specifically - compiling your own kernel
