Rebuild and install the new kernel using the method most appropriate to the distribution being used. For example, in most Linux distributions the default Linux kernel is placed in /vmlinuz and then loaded from there. For these distributions, build the kernel by executing the command:

make bzlilo

If the PC400 driver or any other part of the Linux system was compiled as a module (M above), execute the command

make bzlilo modules modules_install

instead of just

make bzlilo

The installation of the Cyclades-PC400 is continued in the next chapter.
