I couldn't tell you which to hack, but you don't need to. Just copy 
bzImage to /vmlinuz-`uname -r` (where uname -r is the future uname -r of 
that kernel), and System.map /System.map-`uname -r`. Module install 
stage is not effected. If you need an initial ramdisk, run mkinitrd with 
the right parameters, and place the initrd in /. Then edit your 
grub.conf or lilo.conf and update the boot loader...you're done (other 
than testing).
