You need to compile the new kernel. You do so by using the following command: [root@deep linux]# make dep; make clean; make bzImage This line contains three commands in one. The first one, make dep, actually takes your configuration and builds the corresponding dependency tree. This process determines what gets compiled and what doesn’t. The next step, make clean, erase all previous traces of a compilation so as to avoid any mistakes in which version of a feature gets tied into the kernel. Finally, make  bzImage does the full compilation of the kernel. After the process is complete, the kernel is compressed and ready to be installed on your system. Before we can install the new kernel, we must know if we need to compile the corresponding modules. This is requiring only if you’re saying  Yes to “Enable loadable module support (CONFIG_MODULES)” and are compiled some options in the kernel configuration above as a module. In this case, you must execute the following commands: · To compile the corresponding modules of your kernel, use the following command:
