hi, i have some questions: i compiled my new kernel, i create a bzImage and copied to the /boot/ folder. Do i need to generate the System.map and the initrd and other files that are in the same folder and have names including the kernel version? This is my /boot/ folder listing:

The System.map file should be in the base directory ie /path/to/linux-{version}. The initrd file can be created using mkinitrd. See the man page for more details. The easiest way to do it is just to do 'make modules_install && make install'.
NOTE: I do not know what kernel you compiled so do not execute the 'make modules_install && make install' without first changing the kernel version in /path/to/linux-{version}/Makefile to something that is not in the /boot directory.
