Once I had managed to goof trying to do the very same thing. There is always a chance that u didn't copy the exact same lines. You might have left a whole line or not picked up the whole of the last line while copying.

In this case normally you would just use a initial ram disk (initrd). A lot of distros (e.g. Red Hat) now use this method to make their kernel small and yet have support for all kinds of devices using the stock kernel. Makes using a binary kernel that much more convinient.
