The only modules you will compile are the ones you specified being
modular. That means, if you did menuconfig they have a little M next to
them, not an *. In the xconfig I'm not sure what it looks like.
Certainly your cards and things are built into the kernel itself,
which you need to make zImage or make bzImage to compile. That you also
need to move into /boot and add to /etc/lilo.conf.
If you look at the currently running kernel, and get man pages on
lilo (as you can make your system unbootable if you botch it) and
lilo.conf.
It's also a good idea to make a boot disk with
cp [kernel] /dev/fd0
and run
rdev /dev/fd0 [bootdevice like /dev/hda1]
so you can at least boot to a prompt if you break lilo.
