Sounds like you have been using some other *IX, right?
and forgot to read the readme(s) ? ;)
Just do the following if you want to build a Linux kernel:
cd /usr/src/linux
make config
make dep
make clean
make zImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/zImage /vmlinuz_new
You can use make menuconfig or make xconfig instead of make config...
You'll propably want to be able to boot it too... so if you're using lilo
then edit /etc/lilo.conf and add stuff like
image=/vmlinuz_new
label=Linux_new
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
to the end... read the current lilo.conf for correct root device...
of course you'll need to "reinstall" lilo with command "lilo" ;)
