voidmain:
What version of Mandrake are you running? I thought you were running RedHat 8.0. The instructions I gave were specifically for RedHat but they *should* work for Mandrake as well. If GRUB isn't your boot loader then it would be LILO.
When you do a "make install" it will search for a system script called "installkernel" which in RedHat is located in the /sbin directory. That script detects whether you are running LILO or GRUB and installs the kernel in /boot and adds the appropriate boot entries. Not sure if Mandrake has the "installkernel" script or if you have to do it manually. One way to find out, check your /etc/lilo.conf after doing a "make install" and see if there is a new kernel entry.

I am very happy about this, id say compiling a kernel might be one of the most interesting things ive ever done on a computer. thanks for the great howto void, thats definatly one for the Faq.
The only prob is something about IPVS fails, is this important? if yes how do i fix it.

Did you register for one? Usually you get one within a couple of minute of entering your email address in the trial page.

"ipvs" is a netfilter kernel module. It appears that it was included in 2.4.18 (or was added by Mandrake and RedHat) but is not included with the stock 2.4.19. You probably were not using it. Here is the web site that will tell you more about it:
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/
I assume you get an error message about a IPVS module not loading at bootup. If so you probably have a startup script somewhere that tries to load it. You can seek it out and comment it out. I don't have Mandrake installed anywhere right now or I could give you exact instructions.
The other thing that looks strange with your "uname -a" is the "unknown unknown". My "uname -a" looks like this:
