The procedure is (e.g with VERSION=2.0.38, and assuming Red Hat has the
boot files in /boot like SuSE 6.0 BOOT_DIR=/boot).

cd /usr/src
rm linux
ln -s linux-$VERSION linux
cd linux
# possibly make menuconfig, etc.
make dep zImage modules modules_install
mv arch/i386/boot/zImage $BOOT_DIR/vmlinuz-$VERSION
cp System.map $BOOT_DIR/System.map-$VERSION
chmod 444 $BOOT_DIR/*-$VERSION
# In theory the system will try System.map-$VERSION first
# and System.map last. Else you can
#    ln -sf $BOOT_DIR/System.map-$VERSION $BOOT_DIR/System.map
# Note that the format of $VERSION is implied to
# be the one above.

Now edit /etc/lilo.conf and add a new section for your
new kernel (keep the old one). Now type
   /sbin/lilo
