New Kernel Help

[Aaron Clark]

I was under the impression I needed the 3 files to boot the kernel ( Did
I mention this was my fist compiling? ;) Thanks to everyone for the
wonderful support :)  I'm on the way to rid the world of another M$
machine! 

Thanks,
Aaron

In the doc it says to copy over the bzImage as vmlinux-2.4.19, so I did.When I added the new entry into grub.conf I noticed that I didn't have a vmlinuz-<version> and initrd-<version> in /boot. These must be necessary as I can't boot to 2.4.19.
