hm, read a little bit /usr/src/linux/Documentation (IIRC)
there are several docs for you. One important ist the changes file.
A normal way to compile a new Kernel ist:
cd /usr/src/linux (linux ist offten a symlink to your latest kernel
sources)
make config/menuconfig/xconfig (choose one)
make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install
Then you've to wait some time.
cp System.map /boot/System.map-<your-kernel-version>
then link to /boot/System.map with ln -s
Now it's time to copy your Kernel
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-<your-kernel-version>
O.K. know link your Kernel to /boot/vmlinuz with ln -s
So your kernel should know be in a good position. Now read man
lilo.conf and edit /etc/lilo.conf.
Reinstall lilo with the lilo command on the commandline and reboot.
That's the shortest way to a new kernel.
If you don't like to recompile your modutils etc. for Kernel 2.4.x
stay with a 2.2.x Kernel (latest 2.2.18)

Ich weiß nicht, wieso ihr euch so echauffiert. Die Warnung ist doch
wirklich deutlich zu lesen auf der Packung. Da steht in großen,
deutlichen Lettern: "Microsoft". NATÜRLICH funktioniert das nicht.
Mehr als warnen können sie euch nicht. [Fefe in de.alt.sysadmin.recovery]
