En fait, j'avais suivi à la lettre le HOWTO, le chapitre ne précisant
pas (d'après ce que j'ai compris) qu'il fallait faire le make_modules
avant de rebooter ... j'avais donc suivi les chapitres les un après les
autres ... ce serait bien de le préciser dans le Howto, tiens !

 The Linux Kernel HOWTO
  Brian Ward bri@cs.uchicago.edu
  v3.1, 07 Nov 2001

  This is a detailed guide to kernel configuration, compilation,
  upgrades, and troubleshooting for ix86-based systems.

8. After bzImage is successful, copy the kernel image to /boot
     directory.  You must copy the new kernel image to /boot directory,
     otherwise the new kernel MAY NOT boot.  And then read the manual
     page on lilo (see also  <http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/LILO-crash-
     rescue-HOWTO.html>) and see the ``sample lilo.conf'' file.  Always
     give a date extension to the filename, because it tells you when
     you built the kernel, as shown below:

Ici, on dit de rebooter la machine
----------------------------------------------


  10.
     Reboot the machine and at lilo press tab key and type 'myker' If it
     boots then you did a good job! Otherwise at lilo select your old
     kernel, boot and re-try all over again. Your old kernel is still
     INTACT and SAFE at say /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34-0.6



  11.
     If your new kernel 'myker' boots and works properly, you can create
     the boot disk. Insert a blank floppy into floppy drive and -

     ___________________________________________________________________
     bash# cd /usr/src/linux
     bash# make bzdisk

     See also mkbootdisk -
     bash# rpm -i mkbootdisk*.rpm
     bash# man mkbootdisk
     ___________________________________________________________________

-------------------------------------------------
Et ici, de s'occuper des modules ....
-------------------------------------------------


  12.
     LOADABLE MODULES: This step is required ONLY if you had enabled
     Loadable module support in step 3 above.  Loadable module are
     located in /lib/modules. You MUST do this step if you enabled or
     disabled any modules, otherwise you will get 'unresolved symbols'
     errors during or after kernel boot.  Check for insmod command which
     is extensively used for loading the modules.

     ___________________________________________________________________
     bash# cd /usr/src/linux
     bash# make modules
     bash# make modules_install
     ___________________________________________________________________


  This will copy the modules to /lib/modules directory.

  For example to load the module /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/ker­
  nel/drivers/block/loop.o, you would do :

  ______________________________________________________________________
  bash# man insmod
  bash# modproble loop
  bash# insmod loop
  bash# lsmod
  ______________________________________________________________________

  You can set PATH the insmod searches in /etc/modules.conf
