Personally, I would be careful doing this next step. I would either do a 'make zlilo', which copies /vmlinuz to /vmlinuz.old and makes an additional entry in your /etc/lilo.conf file which gives you the option of booting the old kernel in case the new one doesn't work, or I would 'cp /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.old' and make the entry manually in /etc/lilo.conf. If you don't and the new kernel won't boot for some reason, you're screwed.
13. cp arch/i386/boot/zImage /vmlinuz > 14. /sbin/lilo 15. reboot
bam! you've upgraded your kernel. It's not rocket science, and it's something you need to be comfortable doing. Hope this helps.
