In case you _do_ need modules, do you copy bzImage, System.map and all the modules dir to the target machine?
It's much simpler by doing it the Debian way: make menuconfig / xconfig, whatever make-kpkg kernel_image --revision yourkernelCreates a nice little .deb with all the things you need, you just have to dpkg -i it to get your bzImage installed to /boot, actualized vmlinuz.old, modules installed and lilo run. Works with debian-kernel-sources as well as official ones. Great for making kernels on one machine and using them on another.
All in all, nice little tool :) Regards, Johannes Holzer
