Well. To start with, you don't need to do a make dep, since we've already done that for this source tree. Now, if you add some patches to your sources, or delete the source tree and unpack the tarball again... then make dep might be necessary.
Next. Why would you do a make clean? All the nice friendly *.o files would go away. Then when you do a make zImage, it will take 17 minutes to build the kernel image. If you skip the 'make clean' in your commands below, it should only take a few seconds to make another kernel image, with the enabled changes in your .config Next. Why make zImage? use make bzImage, it makes a smaller kernel file. Next. Why cp the zImage to /boot by hand? 'make install' will place your kernel in /boot with the proper symlinks for that kernel version #, etc... Finally, you should be able to add your older kernel to lilo.conf so you don't have to use a bootcd to recover this...
