Here's mine:

I always use the kernel source from kernel.org, since I'm just
used
to doing things this way. :) Here's a good link on building a
kernel:
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/compiling/kernelcomp.html
I always do make bzImage, copy the file bzImage to my /
directory
like: "cp bzImage /test24log" then edit lilo.conf and add in
that,
then run /sbin/lilo and if no errors, (typos do happen) reboot.
As you can see from my lilo.conf, I like to play around with
kernel compiles until I get things just so. :) Hopefully this
will help. Follow the instructions via the link above and you
should be set. Hope that helps.
