Well, I usually do a

make bzImage

then cd to /boot, rename the current kernel to a different name 
(bzImage.good, for example), then copy the new kernel into /boot and then 
edit /etc/lilo.conf to add an entry for bzimage.good.  Then run lilo and 
reboot.

Mind you, this is most probably minimal information - it has worked for me 
and I'm sure that some of the more knowledgeable will be able to tell you 
how to do it better :)
