The original kernel make took two tries. The first try broke on the
file /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib/usercopy.c. Sounds like a missing
dependency perhaps.

Updating the lilo boot loader.
1. run /sbin/lilo -q -v      to see the current map
2. update the /etc/lilo.conf to add a boot option for the new kernel
3. run /sbin/lilo            to reconfigure lilo for the new map
4. run /sbin/lilo -q -v      to see the new map
5. Reboot and try the new and original system.

Lilo uses or updates the following files when run with new /etc/lilo.conf
   /etc/lilo.conf           The lilo configuration file you edit
   /boot/boot_message.txt   A boot message you can change if you want.
   /boot/map                The new lilo boot map installed using lilo.conf

Other files lilo uses but don't need to change (they are set at lilo install).
   /boot/boot-menu.b (alias /boot/boot.b)   The boot sector
   /boot/boot-text.b
   /boot/boot.nnnn      a backup copy of the boot sector

Installing the new kernel image in the /boot directory.
1. backup /vmlinuz to /vmlinuz-bak
2. backup /boot/config  to /boot/config-bak
3. backup /boot/System.map to /boot/System.map-bak

4. copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/bzImage-2.2.19-test
5. copy /usr/src/linux/.config to /boot/config-2.2.19-test
6. copy /usr/src/linux/System.map to /boot/System.map-2.2.19-test

7. Go to lilo boot loader update (above)

Compiling this slackware 2.2 kernel. 

1. cd /usr/src/linux
2. make clean      (might not want to do this during development)
3. make oldconfig  (uses the .config file, no need to change it)
4. make depend
5. make            (hope this works)
6. make bzImage    (puts new bzImage in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
                    also creates a System.map

The original current kernel is stored in /vmlinuz.
The original config file is saved in /boot/config (or .config more recent)
The original System.map is saved in /boot/System.map
The file /boot/map is the kernel image map for lilo.

I saved the original 
  /vmlinuz in /vmlinuz-orig
  /usr/src/linux/.config in /usr/src/linux/.config-orig
I'm not sure where the original System.map is.

This slackware 2.2 system boots with sftp available! That way we can
push files to grace for transfer and backup.
