Try these commands:
make xconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install
the make install command automatically puts your kernel into boot
and renames your old kernel vmlinuz.old or something like that.

Now i've had a problem once where the modules didn't install properly
and I had to physically remove them and then rerun make modules_install.
But other than that, these commands have worked on every kernel I have recompiled.
(and I have recompiled alot of kernels). Also make sure you didn't leave anything out
when you configured your kernel that was
really important to your system.
Good Luck,
SA
