The newly compiled kernel is, I believe, in the /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/ directory and
it's called zImage, if you used the "make zImage" command... if you used the "make bzImage"
command, as I did, it will be named bzImage.  Check out
http://www.redhat.com/knowledgebase/kb/cache/37.html

There is a good description of how to finish... make sure, after you copy the image to where
ever you want it to stay permanently, that you modify the lilo.conf file to point to it (see
the file... you'll know what I mean).  Then run lilo (e.g. type "lilo, [enter]") to map the
kernel... then reboot.
