In the event you did not use make-kpkg you can do the following:
1) get the new kernel image to the new machine; put it in /boot for example
2) tar up the /lib/modules/2.x.x that correspond to your new kernel; untar on
the new machine; verify results
3) edit /etc/lilo.conf on new machine; I like to assign a new kernal image
the non-default label so you have to specify the new kernel on the first run
4) don't forget to run lilo (the command that is)
5) restart
6) if new kernel works on new machine; then edit /etc/lilo.cong so new kernel
is default; run lilo; restart; verify
7) if more machines then goto 1)
After you do this several times, you'll be very interested in the make-kpkg
and the apt-get install method of doiing this procedure.
