Hi
Just a question in between (while I am making my own first steps with RedHat):
What about the symlinks in /boot to vmlinuz-2.2.5-15 and System.map-2.2.5-15? Did you remove them? If not, I think they won't be overwritten by "make bzlilo". And I had to edit /usr/src/linux/Makefile to make installpath /boot work (I got the sources from www.kernel.org). Have also a closer look to /etc/lilo.conf - kernel which will be loaded is vmlinuz-2.2.5-15 and not vmlinuz (which is normally done).
