if you copy the new bzimage over the old one you wont have to touch the
grub config, just make sure the changes you are doing wont make your
system non-bootable or you'll be up a creek.

Make install don´t make any change over the grub.conf.
You have to do it by hand.

When we are young
Wandering the face of the Earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal
For a limited time

Indeed what i normally do is:

mount /boot
mv /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.1
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
umount /boot

Thanks guys, I got it in my head that the new "make install" command copied
over the image to /boot.....

usefully the 2.6 series kernels have "make help" - this will tell you
that "make install" installs the kernel by calling "/sbin/installkernel".
(actually there is a per user option too). installkernel has a man page.

I prefer to do it by hand.

make install will do just that (basically). It will (basically *G*) copy
/boot/vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz.old and install the new kernel image as
/boot/vmlinuz (well, basically *G*):
