make bzlilo seems to ignore non-standard kernel path in lilo.conf (/boot)

Hello,

when I tried to get rid of the problem I wrote about two days ago in this list I compiled the kernel several times but unfortunately it was not installed correctly by the make target bzlilo.
Is it possible to add a parse of /etc/lilo.conf to this target to look for the path the compiled kernels are located (in my case it was /boot but make bzlilo put the new kernel in / so it was not installed by running lilo afterwards)?
This happened to the last 2.2.x kernels I did not try the 2.4.x series yet.

Greetings,

Olaf

Or better yet, set up /sbin/installkernel for your system and do "make install".
