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.
