I just had a thought... You should automate your kernel compile porcess too...
Here's a script I use to get the job done, while I'm out doing more resourceful
things like... getting coffee and a donut... :') 

Modify it to suit your fancy...

#!/bin/bash

cd /usr/src/linux

if make mrproper        &&\
   make xconfig         &&\
   make dep             &&\
   make clean           &&\
   make bzImage         &&\
   make modules         &&\
   make modules_install
then
   cp -f /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/newkernel
   /sbin/lilo
else echo "**** kernel compile failed! ****"
fi
