you forgot to make modules modules_install
I tend to use the make install target to install my kernel instead of
bzlilo,
you can also do all the compiling all in one step, something like this,
# make menuconfig
# make dep clean install modules modules_install
in order for this to work, you need to edit your lilo.conf to make the
default kernel be /boot/vmlinuz and you also need the 'installkernel' script
you can copy this text to a file called /sbin/installkernel
then chmod 755 /sbin/installkernel

Here's a simple lilo.conf (edit to suit your own tatses)
