/etc/grub.conf

 Where is the kernel file and what is kernel file

vmlinuz is the kernel image with the modules located in 
/lib/modules/2.x.x/  There is no hard core name for the kernel image and 
if you want to name it my-kernel-2.x.x that is OK.  I use bzImage 
because that is what make bzImage produces when you compile the kernel.



If you create a custom kernel, the commands

make modules
make modules_install will create the modules for your kernel along with 
creating installing them in /lib/modules/

the initrd is a compressed file system that is run totally in memory. 
Ususally initrd images are used on boot floppies and cdroms.
