Hi,

I am trying to install my own custom build of kernel 2.6.5.1 from
Fedora core 2 but the system restarts as GRUB tries to load the kernel.
I have built the kernel as shown below

make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install
cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5c
cp System.map /boot/System.mapc

Try this instead;

make (not make bzimage and make modules, please get used to it)
make modules_install (this was ok)
make install (no cp commands needed and this does some extra work for you)
