There is no doubt about that, hence the question.  Reading that text
might not help much either.  I read it a  LONG time ago, and is sitting
open on my table right now.

If you want background, and you shouldn't need it, but if you want it,
I'll tell you that after using GNU systems since 1998 and taking many
advanced Programming classes in C, C++ Oracle etc, I decided to go back
for a masters degree in Comp Sci.  So here I am.  I have an assignment
to create an run an alternate Linux Scheduler but I found that compiling
Linux Kernels is not as easy as it had in the past.  The config file
that you get with make xconfig are enormous, and I forgot about grub.

So I need to develop a completely experimental and probably useless
linux scheduler and test it.   But there is not even Linux Source code
any longer in the distros I'm looking at, which happens to be
Manjaro/Arch.

And I'm left with a few questions that I never really thought of before.

make xconfig
make
make modules
make modules_install
make install

there used to be a make lilo

This is the procedure that I have generally used over the years.  It
never occurred to me ask how does a module get into make xconfig?

And how can I best handle multiple kernels with grub.

Is that a clearer question?

If you just want to answer with RTFM, no need.  You would have to be an
idiot to make this your sole source of information on this topic.

FWIW, the book that the course uses is Operating Systems Concepts 9th Ed
Silbershatz et al.
