Did you remember to run lilo:

/sbin/lilo

Here is what I do after I make bzImage:

make modules
make modules_install
make install
edit lilo.conf
run lilo (/sbin/lilo-v)

I change the name of vmlinux to vmlinuz-2.2.?? and in
lilo.conf change the first instance of image= to:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.??
