make a directory myinstall
#> make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=myinstall
#> make install INSTALL_PATH=myinstall
#> make headers_install INSTALL_HDR_PATH=myinstall
everything will be neatly under myinstall directory :-)
now make the ramdisk by
mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-3.1.6 -r (myinstall) -v 3.1.6
on the remote machine,
copy myinstall/lib into /lib and fix the build and source symbolic links to actual source code directory. if there is no source directory, then only copy the headers. into /lib/modules/<version>/build/include...
/lib/modules/<version>/kernel contains all the .ko files
/lib/modules/<version>/build and source points to the headers, or you can keep the actual source files here... all it cares is the include directory inside build :-)
copy myinstall/config, map and vmlinuz into /boot and configure grub.
that's how we transfer a kernel from remote machine to target machine. do not forget to copy the .config file from target to remote before building kernel on remote.
