make the .c and the .h file into a patch and patch them into the kernel
tree. Or an easier method would be to just to compile the kernel using:
make menuconfig or make xconfig if you have X running
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage_2.x.x (the x's are kernel
versions)
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.x.x
remake the symbolic links in the / directory.
vmlinuz -> boot/bzImage-2.x.x
edit /etc/lilo.conf to reflect your new kernel
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
image=/vmlinuz-stable
label=Linux.stab
read-only
/vmlinuz-stable is what already works to fall back on
/vmlinuz is the new kernel
/vmlinuz-dist is what I use for the distribution kernel
these are all symbolics to kernels in the /boot directory
This way all I have to do is change the symbolic links and not haver to
fool with editing the lilo.conf file when I build a new kernel.
finally, run lilo to remake the boot sector of the hard drive
