You need to copy the
vmlinuz-[version number]andinitrd.img-[version number]files along with/lib/modules/[version number]to the other computer. And of course point the bootloader of the other machine to these files.There are also tools that pack the kernel into *.deb packages which makes it easier to deploy. I think the program is called
make-kpkgon Debian.
