FYI, the kernel source now includes a "make install" target which
encompasses make bzImage and automates the last step (copying the kernel
image to /boot, building an initrd, updating grub).
Even better, if you copy the config file (the RPMs put it in
/boot/config-versionname) to /path-to-your-kernel-source-dir/.config,
you can run "make oldconfig" instead of "make menuconfig" -- this will
keep all the old answers and only ask you about items that are new,
which eliminates most of the tedium.
That simplifies things immensely:
cd /path/to/source
cp /boot/config-2.4.whatever .config
make oldconfig
make dep; make; make modules; make modules_install; make install
