Re: didn't do it quite right...

I read somewhere to run "make install" after step # 8. Doing that, it takes care of steps 9 through 15 listed below. I don't believe this is a "Redhat thing" either. I've used it with the official "linus" kernels downloaded from ftp.us.kernel.org. Matter of fact, I believe it may be mentioned in one of the docs that comes with the kernel.
