After you configure and compile bzImage and modules, it is often easiest to
"make modules_install" then copy the following files to the new machine.

/path/to/new/bzImage
/path/to/new/System.map
/lib/modules/2.4.4/ (substitute with the actual kernel version)

you can do this easily with tar
cd /
tar cfvz transfer.tar.gz /path/to/new/bzImage /path/to/new/System.map
/lib/modules/2.4.4
copy transfer.tar.gz to the other machine and unpack with
tar xfvz transfer.tar.gz
make sure you are in /
